Abstract: Examples of interface systems and methods for voice-based interaction in one or more virtual areas that define respective persistent virtual communication contexts are described. These examples enable communicants to use voice commands to, for example, search for communication opportunities in the different virtual communication contexts, enter specific ones of the virtual communication contexts, and bring other communicants into specific ones of the virtual communication contexts. In this way, these examples allow communicants to exploit the communication opportunities that are available in virtual areas, even when hands-based or visual methods of interfacing with the virtual areas are not available.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for providing information for avoiding specific users of an immersive virtual environment. Generally, a primary user may specify other users to be avoided in a blacklist. The blacklisted users may be specified to be avoided at all times, or may be specified to be avoided in certain situations. In one embodiment, a user may be added to the blacklist during a specific situation, resulting in the characteristics of the situation being automatically stored in the blacklist. Subsequently, the blacklist may be used to determine the locations of the blacklisted users matching the current situation. The primary user may then avoid the locations having the greatest probability of encountering blacklisted users.

Abstract: One or more processors create a first scrollable user interface display including content that is scrollable in at least a first direction in response to user input. The processor(s) receive a first user input including an indication of a first portion of the content which is less than all of the content. In response to the receipt of the first user input, the processor(s) create a second scrollable user interface display, where content on the second user interface display is scrollable in at least the first direction except for the first portion of the content which is pinned such that it does not scroll when the rest of the content scrolls. Responsive to the receipt of a second user input, the processor(s) scroll content in the first direction except for the first portion of the content which remains pinned and does not scroll.
