==DEVICES, METHODS, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES FOR CONTROLLING AVATARS WITHIN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240077937 titled 'DEVICES, METHODS, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACES FOR CONTROLLING AVATARS WITHIN THREE-DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS

==Simplified Explanation==

The present disclosure pertains to techniques and user interfaces for controlling and displaying representations of users in various environments, such as live communication and collaboration sessions.

* This patent application focuses on creating user interfaces for live communication and collaboration sessions.
* The innovation involves controlling and displaying representations of users in real-time environments.
* The technology aims to enhance the user experience during live sessions by providing intuitive controls and clear displays.
* The patent application likely includes methods for managing multiple users in a live session and optimizing the display of their representations.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology could be applied in various fields such as online meetings, virtual classrooms, and remote teamwork platforms.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology addresses the challenges of managing and displaying multiple users in real-time communication and collaboration settings.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved user interaction, enhanced visual representation, and a more efficient live session experience.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Potential commercial applications of this technology could include video conferencing software, virtual event platforms, and online collaboration tools.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be existing video conferencing software that provides basic user representation controls but may not offer advanced features for managing multiple users in real-time environments.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does this technology handle privacy and security concerns during live sessions? ===
The patent application does not mention specific details about privacy and security features. It would be important to know how the technology ensures user data protection and secure communication channels.

=== Are there any limitations to the number of users that can be effectively managed in a live session using this technology? ===
The patent application does not specify the scalability of the technology in handling a large number of users simultaneously. Understanding the limitations in user capacity would be crucial for potential users or developers.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the present disclosure generally relates to techniques and user interfaces for controlling and displaying representations of user in environments, such as during a live communication session and/or a live collaboration session.
