Original Abstract Submitted

a communication method in a virtual environment includes initiating, by a first user, a virtual classroom through an education metaverse application program of a first user device; attending, by at least a second user, the virtual classroom through an education metaverse application program of a second user device; activating, by the first user, a class teaching mode, such that the first user and at least the second user login a cloud streaming system through corresponding education metaverse application program of the first user device and the second user device to represent a first avatar and a second avatar for communication in the virtual classroom; wherein the virtual classroom is configured to render a spatial audio in a three-dimensional (3d) space.
