1. A method of facilitating a virtual meeting using virtual interactions with three-dimensional virtual objects to change statuses of issues being tracked by an issue-tracking system, the method comprising:
identifying, in the issue-tracking system, a set of issues to be represented in the virtual meeting, the set of issues including:
a first issue associated with a first issue record indicating a current status of the first issue, the current status of the first issue indicating a progress of the first issue through a predetermined sequence of issue statuses; and
a second issue associated with a second issue record indicating a current status of the second issue, the current status of the second issue indicating a progress of the second issue through the predetermined sequence of issue statuses;
retrieving, from the issue-tracking system, the current status of the first issue and the current status of the second issue;
causing a three-dimensional virtual environment to be displayed to a first user and a second user, the three-dimensional virtual environment comprising:
a representation of the first user;
a representation of the second user;
a representation of a three-dimensional workspace; and
a set of virtual objects including:
a first virtual object displayed in the three-dimensional workspace and representing the first issue in the issue-tracking system, wherein a location of the first virtual object in the three-dimensional workspace corresponds to the current status of the first issue; and
a second virtual object displayed in the three-dimensional workspace and representing the second issue in the issue-tracking system, wherein a location of the second virtual object in the three-dimensional workspace corresponds to the current status of the second issue;
receiving, from the first user, a first three-dimensional interaction with the first virtual object, the first three-dimensional interaction causing the first virtual object to be offered to the second user within the three-dimensional virtual environment;
receiving, from the second user, a second three-dimensional interaction with the first virtual object, the second three-dimensional interaction corresponding to an acceptance, by the second user, of the first virtual object; and
in response to the acceptance, by the second user, of the first virtual object, causing the issue-tracking system to assign the first issue to the second user, wherein:
the three-dimensional virtual environment is selectively viewable, by each of the first user and the second user, in:
a first viewing scheme in which a first subset of virtual objects, of the set of virtual objects, that are associated with issues that are assigned to a particular user are visually differentiated from a second subset of virtual objects, of the set of virtual objects, that are associated with issues that are assigned to users other than the particular user; and
a second viewing scheme in which each virtual object of the set of virtual objects is displayed in a same visual style; and
in response to a selection, by the first user, of the first viewing scheme and a selection, by the second user, of the second viewing scheme, contemporaneously causing the three-dimensional virtual environment to be displayed to the first user according to the first viewing scheme and to the second user according to the second viewing scheme.
