1. A project conferencing system comprising:
- a real world conference space configuration including at least first and second real world emissive surfaces wherein the first real world emissive surface is in a specific relative juxtaposition with respect the second real world emissive surface, each of the first and second real world emissive surfaces adapted to be mounted within a conference space in a location viewable by a plurality of users in the conference space;
a virtual world workstation including at least a first and a second virtual world emissive surface adjacent a user emersion location;
a processor linked to the real world conference space configuration and to the virtual world workstation, the processor programmed to perform the steps of;
(i) receiving data indicating the relative juxtapositions of the first and second real world emissive surfaces;
(ii) generating a first virtual world instance that includes first and second virtual world emissive surfaces that are juxtaposed in the same relative arrangement as the first and second real world emissive surfaces;
(iii) orienting a view of the first and second virtual world emissive surfaces from the perspective of the emersion location to correspond to an instantaneous angular perspective of the first and second real world emissive surfaces;
(iv) receiving content from at least a first user in the real world conference space configuration and applying the received content on the at least first and second real world emissive surfaces; and
(v) replicating the content of the first and second real world emissive surfaces on the virtual world emissive surfaces.

Abstract
A system and method for creating a virtual world conferencing experience wherein a first set of real world emissive surfaces and content thereon is replicated on virtual world emissive surfaces where the virtual world emissive surfaces are juxtaposed in a virtual world instance at locations and in orientations that replicate the juxtapositions in the real world arrangement and where the virtual world instance is presented on a second set of real world emissive surfaces at a virtual world workstation where the second set of emissive surfaces are arranged differently than the first set of real world surfaces.

17. A project conferencing system comprising:
-
a real world conference space configuration located within a conference space including a first plurality of real world emissive surfaces for accessing content wherein each of the first plurality of real world emissive surfaces is arranged in a specific relative juxtaposition with respect to the other real world emissive surfaces in the first plurality of real world emissive surfaces, at least a subset of the first plurality of real world emissive surfaces moveable within the conference space to change at least one of location and orientation in which the real world emissive surfaces are viewable by a plurality of users in the conference space; a virtual world workstation including a second plurality of virtual world emissive surfaces moveably arranged adjacent a user emersion location, each emissive surface in the second plurality of virtual world emissive surfaces arranged in a relative juxtaposition with respect to the other emissive surfaces in the second plurality of virtual world emissive surfaces; a processor linked to the real world conference space configuration and to the virtual world workstation, the processor programmed to perform the steps of; (i) receiving data indicating the relative juxtapositions of the plurality of real world emissive surfaces; (ii) generating a virtual emissive surface arrangement that includes virtual emissive surfaces that are juxtaposed in the same relative arrangement as the real world emissive surfaces; (iii) orienting a separate view of each of the second plurality of virtual world emissive surfaces from the perspective of the emersion location to correspond to an instantaneous angular perspectives of the first plurality of real world emissive surfaces; (iv) receiving content from first and second users that occupy the real world conference space configuration and the virtual world workstation, respectively, and mirroring the content between the first plurality of real world emissive surfaces and the second plurality of virtual world emissive surfaces. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
