Systems and methods for customized dialogue support in virtual environments are provided. Dialogue maps stored in memory may specify dialogue triggers each associated with a corresponding dialogue instruction. Data regarding an interactive session associated with a user device may be monitored based on one or more of the stored dialogue maps. The presence of one of the dialogue triggers specified by the one or more dialogue maps may be detected based on the monitored data. Customized dialogue output may be generated in response to the detected dialogue trigger and based on the dialogue instruction corresponding to the detected dialogue trigger. The customized dialogue output may be provided to the interactive session in real-time with detection of the detected dialogue trigger.

Customized dialogue support

The present technology provides solutions for crowd-sourcing stream productions for a virtual esports environment. A method can include 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 of 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 primary display on a requesting device.
