Various input modes and output modes may be used for a three-dimensional (3D) environment. A user may use a particular input mode (e.g., text, audio, video, etc.) for animating a 3D avatar of the user in the 3D environment. The user may use a particular output mode (e.g., text, audio, 3D animation, etc.) in the presentation of the 3D environment. The input/output modes may change based on conditions such as a location of the user.

Integrated input/output (I/O) for a three-dimensional (3D) environment

Embodiments for increasing clarity and expressiveness in network communications can be configured to: obtain a message from a first user as part of a network-enabled conversation with a second user, the conversation having a plurality of associated messages; analyze the content of the message; automatically use a panel layout based on the content of the message, the panel layout defining a consistent set of expressive elements for at least one message of the plurality of messages associated with the conversation, the panel layout further defining one or more panels for presenting messages of the conversation with the expressive elements; integrate the message into at least one of the panels with the expressive elements; automatically select at least one embellishment from an available set of embellishment options based on the panel layout; apply the automatically selected at least one embellishment to the message to produce an embellished message.

System and method for increasing clarity and expressiveness in network communications

Embodiments for increasing clarity and expressiveness in network communications include: obtaining a message from a first user as part of a network-enabled conversation with a second user; applying at least one embellishment to the message to produce an embellished message, the embellishment including either an explicitly user-selected embellishment or an automatically generated embellishment based on content of the message; and causing transmission of the embellished message via a network to the second user. Embodiments include: receiving a message from a first user via a network, the message including configuration data for configuring embellishment properties of the message; decoding the configuration data and generating an embellished message with the corresponding embellishment properties, the embellishment properties including either an explicitly user-selected embellishment or an automatically generated embellishment based on content of the message; and displaying the embellished message for the second user as part of a network-enabled conversation with the first user.

Embodiments for increasing clarity and expressiveness in network communications include: obtaining a message from a first user as part of a network-enabled conversation with a second user; analyzing the message to identify an expressiveness keyword indicative of an emotion, mood, or level of expressiveness; selecting a level or degree of emotional expressiveness to which a corresponding emotion or mood should be expressed in relation to the identified expressiveness keyword; applying, by use of a processor, at least one embellishment to the message to produce an embellished message, the embellishment including either an explicitly user-selected embellishment or an automatically generated embellishment based on content of the message, the at least one embellishment being configured in a manner consistent with the selected level or degree of emotional expressiveness; and causing transmission of the embellished message via a network to the second user.
