  • Patent number: 12141500
    Abstract: A virtual reality system includes a network, a virtual reality server coupled to the network including a voice streaming server configured to stream audio data, a plurality of computing devices coupled to the network and the virtual reality server and each having a display assembly configured to render virtual reality spaces and objects. At least one of the computing devices is a virtual reality headset that includes one or more tracking cameras configured to sense positioning of a user's hands relative to the headset worn by the user, at least one microphone and at least one speaker. The voice streaming server is activated to stream microphone audio data from the microphone to speakers associated with other of the plurality of computing devices when one of the user's hands associated with the headset is located a threshold distance from the tracking camera of the headset.
