Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for a plurality of participants to conduct electronic exchanges via an exchange computer system, the method comprising:
providing, at a first computing device of a first participant from the plurality of participants, a first graphical user interface (GUI) that renders a virtual floor where the plurality of participants conduct the electronic exchanges via the exchange computer system;
receiving, at the first computing device, a continuous stream of input from the first participant that encodes personal characteristic of the first participant including dynamic images taken at one or more angles from at least one sensor on the first computing device as the first participant moves around the first computing device; and
generating a first graphical representation of the first participant in accordance with the personal characteristic so that when the first graphical representation of the first participant joins the virtual floor, the first participant is represented on the virtual floor using the personal characteristic of the first participant as the first participant moves around the first computing device as if the first participant with the personal characteristic including the dynamic images taken from the first computing device is physically present on the virtual floor, and the virtual floor is rendered on the first GUI as if the first participant is viewing the virtual floor from the one or more angles facing the at least one sensor on the first computing device,
wherein the virtual floor comprises a graphical representation of a second participant from the plurality of participants, and
wherein the graphical representation of the second participant is generated in accordance with personal biographic information of the second participant derived from one or more sensors.
