Crowd-sourced esports stream production

A system for crowd-sourcing content for esports stream production, the system comprising:

• a processor that executes instructions stored in memory, wherein the processor executes the instructions to generate a virtual environment associated with an interactive session that includes a plurality of spectator devices, wherein each of the spectator devices is presented with a different display based on a corresponding vantage point located within the virtual environment;
• a communication interface that communicates over a communication network, wherein the communication interface receives a plurality of media captures from the spectator devices, wherein each of the media captures is captured from the corresponding vantage point associated with the spectator device within the virtual environment;
• wherein the processor executes further instructions to select one of the media captures based on a comparison of visibility of an asset in the virtual environment;
• and
• wherein the communication interface streams the selected media capture to a requesting device, and wherein the streamed media capture is displayed on a primary display of the requesting device.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium, having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for crowd-sourcing content for esports stream production, the method comprising:

• generating a virtual environment associated with an interactive session that includes a plurality of spectator devices, wherein each of the spectator devices is presented with a different display based on a corresponding vantage point located within the virtual environment;
• receiving a plurality of media captures from the spectator devices, wherein each of the media captures is captured from the corresponding vantage point associated with the spectator device within the virtual environment;
• selecting one of the media captures based on a comparison of visibility of an asset in the virtual environment;
• and
• streaming the selected media capture to a requesting device, wherein the streamed media capture is displayed on a primary display of the requesting device.
