Disclosed are systems, including client devices and servers, and methods for creating a collaborative virtual session between client devices, wherein each of the client devices is associable with a coupler agent for interfacing with a communicating entity (such as a person). A client device includes a processor and memory operable to: generate a locally instantiated virtual room; instantiate a virtual representation of a first entity associated with the client device in the locally instantiated virtual room; transmit metadata representative of the first entity to a second client device; receive metadata representative of a second entity associated with the second client device; and, instantiate a virtual representation of the second entity as a function of the received metadata, from a perspective of the first entity, in the locally instantiated virtual room. A server can be utilized to join the client devices in the collaborative virtual session and exchange the metadata.

Systems, devices and methods for creating a collaborative virtual session

Disclosed are systems, including client devices and servers, and methods for creating a collaborative virtual session between two or more client devices, wherein each of the client devices is associable with a coupler agent for interfacing with a communicating entity (such as a person). A client device, in accordance with the inventive principles, comprises at least one processor and at least one memory, the memory containing instructions whereby, when executed by the processor, the client device is operable to: generate a locally instantiated virtual room; instantiate a virtual representation of a first entity associated with said client device in said locally instantiated virtual room; transmit metadata representative of the first entity to the second client device; receive metadata representative of the second entity from the second client device; and, instantiate a virtual representation of the second entity as a function of said received metadata, from a perspective of the first entity, in the locally instantiated virtual room. A server, intermediate to the client devices, can be utilized to join the client devices in the collaborative virtual session and exchange the metadata.

Devices and methods for creating a collaborative virtual session

A communication system, and method for creating a collaborative virtual session, including a first coupler agent connected to a first entity, a second coupler agent connected to a second entity, and a first client, coupled to the first coupler agent and a server. The first client is configured to initiate a virtual session with the server, receive metadata representing a second virtual representation of the second entity, and instantiate the second virtual representation in a first collaborative virtual room. The communication system includes a second client, coupled to the second coupler agent and the server, configured to join the virtual session with the server, receive metadata representing a first virtual representation of the first entity, and instantiate the first virtual representation in a second collaborative virtual room.
