Claim 0:
1. A method for surfacing an insight into a conversation between users of virtual reality devices who engage in the conversation in a virtual environment, the method comprising:
acquiring, via a first virtual reality device,
(i) a stream of voice data that includes words spoken by a first user as part of the conversation, and
(ii) a stream of interactivity data that includes a set of spatial interactions of the first user with one or more attributes of the virtual environment;

in response to said acquiring,
forwarding the stream of voice data to an application programming interface for real-time transcription by a transcription service, and
broadcasting the stream of voice data to a second virtual reality device, for presentation to a second user involved in the conversation;

receiving, from the transcription service, a textual stream that is produced for the stream of voice data;
segmenting the textual stream into multiple segments based on a comparison of its words to (i) an agenda provided for the conversation, (ii) a template identified for the conversation, or (iii) a set of phrases indicative of a desire to delineate between different topics;
associating each of the multiple segments with a corresponding one of multiple topics;
for each of the multiple segments,
populating information derived from that segment into a first data structure,
populating metadata associated with that segment into a second data structure, and
linking the first and second data structures together, so as to produce a graph data structure for a corresponding topic;

storing the multiple graph data structures produced for the multiple topics in a graph database;
analyzing the multiple segments of the textual stream in conjunction with the stream of interactivity data, so as to establish the insight into the conversation; and
causing display of one or more indications of the insight in the virtual environment.
