Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for providing a three-dimensional virtual environment with teleconferencing audio and video feeds placed within the environment via three-dimensional virtual avatars, including indications of directional orientation or facing, and with mixing of spatial audio providing directionality and distance cues. By utilizing a three dimensional environment for display of video streams, video streams corresponding to or displayed on avatars that are farther from the viewer appear smaller within the three dimensional view, and thus can be easily downscaled or reduced in resolution or bit rate without adversely affecting the user experience.
