1. A client device for participating in a collaborative virtual meeting in a locally instantiated virtual room, via a network, with a second client device, said client device associable with a first coupler agent for interfacing with a first entity associated with said client device and said second client device associable with a second coupler agent for interfacing with a second entity associated with said second client device, said client device comprising:
at least one processor and at least one memory, said memory containing instructions whereby, when executed by said processor, said client device is operable to:
establish a session with said second client device, said session providing a two-way communication link between said client device and said second client device through said network; and,
instantiate a virtual representation of a second entity as a function of metadata received from said second client device, from a perspective of a first entity, in said locally instantiated virtual room, wherein said metadata is received from said second client device via said session without said client device requesting said metadata from an intermediate server of said network.
