Can I Watch? Explorations in Dynamic Spectating

Description

In recent years there has been a huge growth in interest in watching people play games, both through streaming services as well as through Esports events to the extent that it is now possible to get college scholarships for participating in these events. At the same time, technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and tracking systems have seen rapid improvements in quality and adoption.

At PlayStation’s Magic Lab at Sony Interactive Entertainment, we have been exploring ways to leverage these technologies to create novel spectating experiences. We believe that there are many opportunities to make spectating a more dynamic, interactive experience allowing for increased engagement for both players and spectators. This session will cover some of the exploration that we have conducted in this space.
