Abstract

A method (400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900) of providing a shared virtual lounge experience. The method can include analyzing one or more messages communicated from a first participant (104) in a virtual world (102) to a second participant (106) in the virtual world to determine at least one context (110) of the message(s). Based on the determined context of the message(s), a context-specific virtual lounge (112) can be dynamically created to pertain to the determined context and host participant interactions.
