System architecture and method for composing and directing participant experiences

A system for generating multi-dimensional realtime participant experiences, the system comprising:

• a plurality of realtime experience engines;
• and
• a plurality of non-realtime services;
• wherein each of the realtime experience engines is operative to transmit a realtime participant experience to an experience agent via a low-latency protocol and communicate with one or more non-realtime services;
• wherein each of the non-realtime services is operative to communicate with the experience agent, and is further operative to communicate with one or more realtime experience engines;
• wherein the low-latency protocol to transmit the realtime participant experience comprises steps of:
• dividing the realtime participant experience into a plurality of regions,
• wherein the realtime participant experience includes full-motion video, wherein the full-motion video is enclosed within one of the plurality of regions;
• converting each portion of the realtime participant experience associated with each region into at least one of picture codec data and pass-through data;
• and
• wherein at least one of the realtime experience engine is operative to convert a plurality of realtime participant experiences into a single live stream.

A system for composing and directing multi-dimensional realtime participant experiences, the system comprising:

• a CDN infrastructure including an origin content server and a plurality of surrogate content servers, the CDN infrastructure operable to distribute content across various geographic locations;
• a plurality of realtime experience engines;
• a plurality of non-realtime services;
• and
• a plurality of devices, each device including a content player presenting a streaming content received from the content distribution network, the device further including an experience agent presenting one or more live realtime participant experiences transmitted from one or more realtime experience engines via a low- latency protocol;
• wherein each of the realtime experience engines is operative to transmit a realtime participant experience to at least one of the experience agents via a low- latency protocol and communicate with one or more non-realtime services;
• wherein each of the non-realtime services is operative to communicate with at least one of the experience agents, and communicate with one or more realtime experience engines;
• wherein the low-latency protocol to transmit the realtime participant experience comprises steps of:
• dividing the realtime participant experience into a plurality of regions,
• wherein the realtime participant experience includes full-motion video, wherein the full-motion video is enclosed within one of the plurality of regions;
• and
• converting each portion of the realtime participant experience associated with each region into at least one of picture codec data and pass-through data;
• and
• wherein the experience agent is operative to receive and combine the one or more live realtime participant experiences into a single live stream.
