All this work to elim background is great. But we also will need business oriented group meets which emulate real life: Allow breakouts, 2-4 people in group "sidebar" to chat, the burble of other convos drift in, providing a gentle low background hum. The sidebar, unless marked private, would also contribute to hum of other users in a main group or in sidebars of their own. Acoustic effects can even allow directional it of the sounds.

Yes, we can do VR worlds that still look like Second Life, but while we are working on fixing that, we might solve for near term things to improve interactivity.

Well, and solve the "one person speaks, all must listen, lag for response, loop" which I find is similar to how morse code discussions work.
