Virtual spectator experience for live events

A live event virtual experience is provided. Emotions of virtual spectators to a current situation occurring in a live event at a physical venue are determined from received data regarding reactions of the virtual spectators to the live event using bias detection. A historical sound clip that matches the emotions of the virtual spectators to the current situation occurring in the live event is retrieved. The historical sound clip that matches the emotions of the virtual spectators to the current situation occurring in the live event is input into a machine learning model that performs inverse bias mitigation to amplify bias and applies in-process adversarial fairness debiasing. The historical sound clip after performing the inverse bias mitigation to amplify the bias and applying the in-process adversarial fairness debiasing is converted to a standardized historical sound segment length. A sound representation is generated from the standardized historical sound segment length.

A method for implementing a moment of a videogame for playing a portion of a videogame; it includes receiving user selection input of a moment of a particular videogame associated with starting at a particular progress point of the particular videogame; causing an emulation to start of the particular videogame for streaming on the computer of the user; performing image analysis of the image stream to generate metadata on progress of the particular game by the user; determining if one or more end conditions of the moment is met through analysis of the metadata; and causing the emulation to end, resulting in an end of the streaming of the particular game on the computer of the user, if the one or more end conditions is met.

METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR GENERATING NOTIFICATIONS BASED ON THE INTERESTS OF GUESTS

Methods and systems are provided herein for generating notifications based on the interests of guests. Guests may request notifications on their host’s television, and the system will generate notifications based on the guest’s interests and preferences as stored in the guest’s user profile. In doing so, the guest will be notified of events of interest, such as when a favorite sports team scores a point or when an important scene in a favorite movie is playing. The system monitors the network of the apartment or house and detects when a guest device is accessing the network. The system then accesses the guest’s interests and identifies a set of programs based on these interests. The system then monitors these programs and generates notifications on the display device when an event of interest has occurred in one of the identified programs.
