Systems and methods for configuring and/or participating in virtual events

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating a virtual event space visualization for media consumption in a hybrid 2D/3D manner may involve at least one processor configured to: receive virtual event space data including definition of a virtual display object associated with a virtual presentation location; render an event space based on the virtual event space data including an avatar; when the avatar is positioned at a location distinct from the virtual presentation location, render portions of the event space in a first viewing state displaying the event space from an isometric view; upon receiving a trigger for impending interaction with the virtual display object, switch to a second viewing state, displaying the virtual display object from a non-isometric, object-focused view; maintain the object-focused view while the avatar interacts with the virtual display object; upon receiving a reversion signal revert the second viewing state to the first viewing state.
