An illustrative interactive content provider system transmits a live video stream to an interactive content player device, and, during the transmitting of the live video stream, provides an executable data object to the interactive content player device. The executable data object includes an interactive content instance configured to be presented within a 3D virtual playing area that bounds at least one virtual object of the interactive content instance. The interactive content provider system directs the interactive content player device to execute the executable data object by overlaying the 3D virtual playing area of the interactive content instance onto a presentation of the live video stream. Corresponding methods and systems are disclosed for both the interactive content provider system and the interactive content player device.

Methods and systems for interactive content delivery in connection with a live video stream

An illustrative application executing on a first device establishes a first network connection between the first device and a collaboration platform server managing a set of components for a collaboration platform providing voice communication services with respect to a virtual space. Using the first network connection, the application: 1) sets a first location within the virtual space at which a first voice component is positioned, and 2) determines a second location within the virtual space at which a second voice component is positioned. The application receives, by way of a second network connection between the first and second devices, audio data representing voice communication originating at the second device. Based on the first and second locations, the application generates a spatialized rendering of the audio data for presentation to a user. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.

Methods and systems for spatial rendering of multi-user voice communication

Embodiments described herein provide for the leveraging of edge-based resources (e.g., processing, memory, storage, and/or other resources of one or more Multi-Access/Mobile Edge Computing devices ('MECs'), such as MECs associated with a radio access network ('RAN') of a wireless network) to process data from and/or provide instructions to microcontroller devices, System on Chip (&#x201c;SoC&#x201d;) devices, configurable logic boards, Internet of Things (&#x201c;IoT&#x201d;) devices, and/or other types of devices or systems. For example, embodiments described herein may provide for the creation and configuration of logical devices or systems based on one or more microcontrollers, SoC devices, etc., edge-based processing of sensor data and/or other types of data received or generated by the microcontrollers, SoC devices, etc., and the generation of instructions to control physical devices communicatively coupled to the microcontrollers, SoC devices, etc.

Systems and methods for scalable edge-based microcontrollers

An illustrative interactive content delivery system includes an interactive content player device (player device) and an interactive content provider system (provider system). As the provider system transmits a live video stream to the player device, the player device detects a first event marker in the live video stream, accesses an executable data object including data representative of an interactive content instance, and executes, based on the executable data object, the interactive content instance in accordance with interactive input provided by a user of the player device. During the executing of the interactive content instance, the player device detects a second event marker in the live video stream and subsequently discontinues the executing of the interactive content instance. Corresponding methods and systems are disclosed for both the provider system and the player device of the interactive content delivery system.
