PROVIDING CHANGE IN PRESENCE SOUNDS WITHIN VIRTUAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18604128 titled 'PROVIDING CHANGE IN PRESENCE SOUNDS WITHIN VIRTUAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The present disclosure involves a system and method for presenting change of presence sounds within a virtual working environment.
- Receiving interaction data from a first participant in a virtual working environment.
- Determining a change in presence of the first participant.
- Generating a sound corresponding to the change in presence.
- Providing the generated sound to other participants for presentation on their devices.
Potential Applications: - Virtual meetings and collaboration platforms. - Remote work environments. - Online gaming and virtual events.
Problems Solved: - Enhancing communication and awareness in virtual environments. - Improving engagement and interaction among participants. - Providing real-time feedback on presence changes.
Benefits: - Increased engagement and collaboration. - Enhanced communication and awareness. - Improved virtual working experience.
Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Presence Sound System for Enhanced Collaboration This technology can be used in virtual meeting platforms, remote work tools, and online gaming environments to improve communication and collaboration among participants. It has the potential to enhance user experience and increase engagement in virtual settings.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve communication in virtual environments? - This technology enhances communication by providing real-time feedback on presence changes, allowing participants to be more aware of each other's activities. 2. What are the potential applications of this virtual presence sound system? - The potential applications include virtual meetings, remote work environments, and online gaming platforms.
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for presenting change of presence sounds within a virtual working environment. The program and method provide for receiving, from a first client device of a first participant of a group of participants within a virtual working environment, interaction data relating to the first participant being present at the first client device, the group of participants having been selected from among plural participants of the virtual working environment; determining a change in presence of the first participant with respect to the first client device; generating, in response to the determining, a sound corresponding to the change in presence; and providing the generated sound to one or more second client devices of respective one or more second participants of the group of participants, for presentation on the one or more second client devices.
