System and method for interactive video conferencing
Systems and methods for facilitating, managing, and providing on-line events and meetings. The present disclosure provides systems and methods for creation of content, live video event manages content and information to be provided during online events and meetings, as well as for generating and managing archives thereof. The present disclosure provides a set of tools for creating a virtual environment that includes a mixed-reality world of virtual sets and live video streams that enables users to attend large scale events and stay engaged in virtual conferences that can last days or longer.
1. A computer-implemented virtual event management platform, the platform comprising:
non-transitory processor readable media;
at least one processor operatively coupled to the non-transitory processor readable media, wherein the non-transitory processor readable media have instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform the following steps:
define, for each of at least one date, a plurality of tracks, wherein each track comprises a plurality of respective virtual sessions;
provide, to each of a plurality of computing devices, a graphical user interface that includes selectable options for each of the plurality of computing devices to select one or more tracks and one or more virtual sessions;
define respective networked communication sessions, wherein the respective networked communication sessions are usable by each of the plurality of computing devices to join the one or more virtual sessions;
receive, via the graphical user interface, responses to the selectable options, wherein each respective response enables access to at least one of the one or more virtual sessions, wherein some of the plurality of user computing devices are operated by users who are featured during a respective virtual session, and some of the plurality of user computing devices are operated by users who are not featured during a respective virtual session; and
define access rights for respective ones of the plurality of computing devices operated by users who are not featured during a respective virtual session to communicate via a chat session during a respective virtual session.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory processor readable media have further instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
receive, from each of the respective computing devices operated by users who are scheduled to attend a respective virtual session, contact information; and
provide, as a function of the contact information, selectable options for the users who are scheduled to attend the respective virtual session to be introduced and communicate.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory processor readable media have further instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
manage meeting information representing each of a plurality of meetings for users who are scheduled to attend a respective virtual session to attend scheduled to attend a respective session receive, from at least one of the users; and
provide, for each of the plurality of computing devices operated by users attending a respective session, at least some of the meeting information in selectable options.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the meeting information includes at least a date and time for a meeting, a meeting identification, a passcode for joining the meeting, and a hyperlink that, when selected, provides access to the meeting.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the non-transitory processor readable media have further instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
provide, a virtual meeting setting for users who join the meeting.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory processor readable media have further instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
generate and provide analytics associated with each of the respective virtual sessions.
7. A computer-implemented method for managing virtual events, the method comprising:
defining, by at least one processor configured by executing instructions stored on non-transitory processor readable media, for each of at least one date, a plurality of tracks, wherein each track comprises a plurality of respective virtual sessions;
providing, by the at least one processor, to each of a plurality of computing devices, a graphical user interface that includes selectable options for each of the plurality of computing devices to select one or more tracks and one or more virtual sessions;
defining, by the at least one processor, respective networked communication sessions, wherein the respective networked communication sessions are usable by each of the plurality of computing devices to join the one or more virtual sessions;
receiving, by the at least one processor via the graphical user interface, responses to the selectable options, wherein each respective response enables access to at least one of the one or more virtual sessions, wherein some of the plurality of user computing devices are operated by users who are featured during a respective virtual session, and some of the plurality of user computing devices are operated by users who are not featured during a respective virtual session; and
defining, by the at least one processor, access rights for respective ones of the plurality of computing devices operated by users who are not featured during a respective virtual session to communicate via a chat session during a respective virtual session.
8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving, by the at least one processor, from each of the respective computing devices operated by users who are scheduled to attend a respective virtual session, contact information; and
providing, by the at least one processor, as a function of the contact information, selectable options for the users who are scheduled to attend the respective virtual session to be introduced and communicate.
9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
managing, by the at least one processor, meeting information representing each of a plurality of meetings for users who are scheduled to attend a respective virtual session to attend scheduled to attend a respective session receive, from at least one of the users provide, for each of the plurality of computing devices operated by users attending a respective session, at least some of the meeting information in selectable options.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the meeting information includes at least a date and time for a meeting, a meeting identification, a passcode for joining the meeting, and a hyperlink that, when selected, provides access to the meeting.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
providing, by the at least one processor, a virtual meeting setting for users who join the meeting.
12. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
generating and providing analytics associated with each of the respective virtual sessions.
