A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11928731B1) outlines a computer-implemented method for multiple participants to engage in electronic exchanges through an exchange computer system. The method involves providing a graphical user interface (GUI) to participants, where they can interact on a virtual floor. Participants can encode personal characteristics, including dynamic images captured by sensors on their computing devices, to generate graphical representations that mimic their movements on the virtual floor. The virtual floor also includes representations of other participants based on their biographic information derived from sensors.

Furthermore, the method includes rendering three-dimensional graphical representations of participants, streaming movements performed by these representations, and allowing control inputs through devices like a mouse, keyboard, microphone, or sensors. The graphical representations can be displayed on monitors or virtual reality headsets associated with the computing devices. The positioning of the graphical representations on the virtual floor is determined by parameters specific to each participant. The virtual floor rendering is based on information provided by a virtual floor engine within the exchange computer system, which includes an order routing system and an order matching system. Additionally, the method involves obtaining data such as height, weight, position, and movement of participants to accurately represent them on the virtual floor, with sensor measurements contributing to this data collection process.
