Abstract: Methods and systems described herein facilitate virtual interactions between users that more closely resemble their in-person counterparts. In particular, the methods and systems simulate in-person interactions in virtual environments through the use of complex spatial algorithms. For example, in some embodiments, the methods and systems provide avatar-based video conferencing systems in which avatars are connected by video/voice chat to any avatar based on one or more criteria.

Abstract: Methods and systems for improving the interactivity of media content. The methods and systems are particularly applicable to the e-learning space, which features unique problems in engaging with users, maintaining that engagement, and allowing users to alter media assets to their specific needs. To address these issues, as well as improving interactivity of media assets generally, the methods and systems described herein provide for annotation and truncation of media assets. More particularly, the methods and systems described herein provide features such as annotation guidance and video condensation.
