Methods and systems for providing an asynchronous massive multiplayer application

A system comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
• obtain, from a plurality of client devices physically located at different respective locations at a site of a real-world event and engaged in a massive multiplayer application, trajectory data representative of asynchronous attempts, by users of the plurality of client devices, to direct respective virtual objects associated with the plurality of client devices from the respective locations of the client devices at the site of the real-world event to a target at a real-world target location at the real-world event;
• determine, based on the trajectory data, a plurality of virtual trajectories for the asynchronous attempts to direct the respective virtual objects from the respective locations of the client devices at the site of the real-world event to the target at the real-world target location;
• render, based on the plurality of virtual trajectories, a plurality of videos that each concurrently depict the asynchronous attempts to direct the respective virtual objects to the target;
• and
• stream different videos of the plurality of videos to different client devices of the plurality of client devices, wherein each particular video streamed to each particular client device is customized to emphasize, over other asynchronous attempts by other users of other client devices, an attempt of a user of the particular client device to direct a virtual object associated with the particular client device to the target.

A multi-access edge computing (MEC) server comprising:

• a communication interface configured to exchange data, by way of a provider network within which the MEC server is implemented, with a plurality of client devices engaged in a massive multiplayer application;
• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
• obtain, from the plurality of client devices by way of the communication interface and the provider network, trajectory data representative of asynchronous attempts, by users of the plurality of client devices, to direct respective virtual objects associated with each client device to a target at a real-world location and associated with a real-world event;
• determine, based on the trajectory data, a plurality of virtual trajectories for the asynchronous attempts to direct the respective virtual objects to the target;
• render, based on the plurality of virtual trajectories, a plurality of videos that each concurrently depict the asynchronous attempts to direct the respective virtual objects to the target;
• and
• stream, by way of the communication interface and the provider network, different videos of the plurality of videos to different client devices of the plurality of client devices, wherein each particular video streamed to each particular client device is customized to emphasize, over other asynchronous attempts by other users of other client devices, an attempt of a user of the particular client device to direct a virtual object associated with the particular client device to the target.
