Claim 8:
9. A system for providing programmable virtual events, comprising:
a server computer system comprising at least one processor and memory storing a virtual environment and an event flow management module;
wherein the virtual environment is configured to enable interactions between users represented by user graphical representations created from media feeds received from corresponding user cameras; and
wherein the event flow management module is configured to:
responsive to a session request received from at least one client device, set up a virtual event session between at least two users;
obtain an event flow rule set comprising a plurality of rules, the rule set determining an event flow sequence comprising presentation of media streams of the users in the virtual event session;
apply the event flow rule set to the media streams of the users in the virtual event session; and
responsive to the application of the event flow rule set to the media streams of the users in the virtual event session, trigger an event flow action in real time in the virtual event session,

wherein the triggered event flow action comprises modifying presentation of a media stream in the virtual event session, and
wherein the user graphical representations comprise a user 3D virtual cutout with a removed background, or a user real-time 3D virtual cutout with a removed background, or a video with a removed background, or a video without a removed background.
