Systems and methods for virtual reality immersive calling

A method for immersive virtual reality communication, the method comprising:

• capturing a first stream of images of a first user;
• transmitting the captured first stream of images of the first user by a first network;
• receiving data, by a second network, based at least in part on the captured first captured stream of images of the first user;
• and
• rendering a virtual environment to produce a rendition of the first user based at least in part on the data based at least in part on the first captured stream of images of the first user.

A virtual reality apparatus for immersive communication, the apparatus comprising:

• a storage unit further comprising:
• a capture module configured to capture a stream of images of a user;
• a communication module configured to transmit the captured stream of images of the user to a network;
• a rendering module configured to render a virtual environment;
• a rendition module configured to produce a rendition of the first user based at least in part on the data based at least in part on the stream of images of the first user produced by the capture module;
• and
• a position module configured to direct the user based on position optimization based on at least one of a user pose, a user position, a user scale, or a virtual reality device boundary.

A computer-readable storage device having computer executable instructions stored therein, said instructions causing a computing device to execute a method for immersive virtual reality communication, comprising:

• capturing a first stream of images of a first user;
• transmitting the captured first stream of images of the first user by a first network;
• receiving data, by a second network, based at least in part on the captured first captured stream of images of the first user;
• and
• rendering a virtual environment and to produce a rendition of the first user based at least in part on the data based at least in part on the first captured stream of images of the first user.
