Claims21
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- executing, by a first electronic device, a computer-implemented entertainment environment;
- transmitting, by the first electronic device to a second electronic device, a request to manage an appearance of the computer-implemented entertainment environment;
- in response to the request, receiving, by the first electronic device from the second electronic device, a rendered avatar;
- and
- incorporating, by the first electronic device, the rendered avatar into the computer-implemented entertainment environment as the computer-implemented entertainment environment is being executed by the first electronic device.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device, cause first the electronic device to perform operations comprising:
- executing, by the first electronic device, a computer-implemented entertainment environment;
- transmitting, by the first electronic device to a second electronic device, a request to manage an appearance of the computer-implemented entertainment environment;
- in response to the request, receiving, by the first electronic device from the second electronic device, a rendered avatar;
- and
- incorporating, by the first electronic device, the rendered avatar into the computer-implemented entertainment environment as the computer-implemented entertainment environment is being executed by the first electronic device.
A first electronic device comprising:
- a memory comprising computer-executable instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to perform operations comprising:
- executing, by the first electronic device, a computer-implemented entertainment environment;
- transmitting, by the first electronic device to a second electronic device, a request to manage an appearance of the computer-implemented entertainment environment;
- in response to the request, receiving, by the first electronic device from the second electronic device, a rendered avatar;
- and
- incorporating, by the first electronic device, the rendered avatar into the computer-implemented entertainment environment as the computer-implemented entertainment environment is being executed by the first electronic device.
