System and method enabling interactions in virtual environments with virtual presence

A method enabling interactions in virtual environments, comprising:

• providing a virtual environment platform comprising a virtual environment in memory of one or more cloud server computers comprising at least one processor, wherein the virtual environment comprises a 3D modeled virtual space configured for display;
• receiving a live data feed of a user captured by at least one camera from at least one client device;
• generating, from the live data feed, a user graphical representation;
• inserting the user graphical representation into a three-dimensional coordinate position of the 3D modeled virtual space of the virtual environment;
• updating, from the live data feed, the user graphical representation within the 3D modeled virtual space of the virtual environment;
• and
• processing data generated from interactions in the virtual environment, enabling real-time multi-user collaborations and interactions in the 3D modeled virtual space of the virtual environment,
• wherein a viewing perspective of the user accessing the at least one virtual environment is configured to switch between a first-person viewing perspective, a third-person viewing perspective, and a self-viewing perspective in response to input from the user via the at least one client device as the user navigates the at least one virtual environment using the at least one client device.

A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions configured to cause at least one server computer comprising a processor and memory to perform steps comprising:

• providing a virtual environment platform comprising a virtual environment in memory of one or more cloud server computers comprising at least one processor, wherein the virtual environment comprises a 3D modeled virtual space configured for display;
• receiving a live data feed of a user captured by at least one camera from at least one client device;
