System and method for executing an interactive live game

A computer game server for facilitating execution of an interactive live game, the server comprising a processing circuitry comprising at least one processer and computer memory, the processing circuitry being configured to:

• receive from a player's device a request of a player to participate in an interactive live game;
• repeatedly:
• execute an interactive game, including generating game events;
• based on the executed game, transmit, to a video processor, game display data and virtual reality data, the virtual reality data including data pertaining a virtual reality environment comprising at least two themes, wherein the transmitted data is used to create, by the video processor, together with a captured video of a live studio in which an operator operating a mobile activation button, a live game video stream;
• transmit to the player's device the generated game events, thereby facilitating the player's device, after obtaining the live game video stream, to create a composited video stream comprising the live game video stream and data that pertains to the generated game events, the composited video stream constituting the interactive live game;
• wherein at least some of the events are generated in response to receiving data indicative of a player's action in the executed interactive game;
• and
• in response to receiving an input from the mobile activation button, transmit transition data indicative of switching between the at least two themes in the environment.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for facilitating execution of an interactive live game, the method comprising:

• receiving from a player's device a request of a player to participate in an interactive live game;
• repeatedly:
• executing an interactive game, including generating game events;
• based on the executed game, transmitting, to a video processor, game display data and virtual reality data, the virtual reality data including data pertaining a virtual reality environment comprising at least two themes, wherein the transmitted data is used to create, by the video processor, together with a captured video of a live studio in which an operator operating a mobile activation button, a live game video stream;
• transmitting to the player's device the generated game events, thereby facilitating the player's device, after obtaining the live game video stream, to create a composited video stream comprising the live game video stream and data that pertains to the generated game events, the composited video stream constituting the interactive live game;
• wherein at least some of the events are generated in response to receiving data indicative of a player's action in the executed interactive game;
• and
• in response to receiving an input from the mobile activation button, transmitting transition data indicative of switching between the at least two themes in the environment.

A gaming system for facilitating execution of an interactive live game, the gaming system, comprising:

• a live game server configured to:
• receive from a player's device a request of a player to participate in an interactive live game;
• and
• repeatedly:
• execute an interactive game, including generating game events;
• transmit, to a video processor, game display data, and virtual reality data, the virtual reality data including data pertaining a virtual reality environment comprising at least two themes;
• transmit to a player's device the generated game events;
• wherein at least some of the events are generated in response to receiving data indicative of a player's action in the executed interactive game;
• and
• wherein, in response to receiving an input from the mobile activation button, transmitting transition data indicative of switching between the at least two themes in the environment;
• at least one camera positioned in a live studio is configured to capture a video of a live studio in which an operator operating a mobile activation button to create a live game video stream and to live stream the captured video;
• a game renderer configured to receive the data pertaining to the game display data and the virtual reality data from the live game server, to determine game display data and virtual reality data, and to transmit the determined data to a video processor;
• a video processor configured to receive the captured video from the at least one camera, receive the game display data and the virtual reality data from the game renderer, to create a live game video stream, and to transmit the live game video to the player's device;
• thereby facilitating the player's device, after obtaining from the video processor the live game video stream, together with the game events, to create a composited synchronous video comprising the obtained live game video stream and data that pertains to the game events, wherein the composited synchronous video constitutes the interactive live game.
