Abstract

Methods and systems described herein facilitate virtual interactions between users that more closely resemble their in-person counterparts. In particular, the methods and systems simulate in-person interactions in virtual environments through the use of complex spatial algorithms. For example, in some embodiments, the methods and systems provide avatar-based video conferencing systems in which avatars are connected by video/voice chat to any avatar based on one or more criteria.
