When a first condition related to a change in a position of a virtual microphone in a virtual space is satisfied, a residual virtual microphone is placed at a position of the virtual microphone before the change in the position, and residual virtual microphone acquisition sound data whose volume is set on the basis of a distance between the residual virtual microphone and a virtual sound source and current virtual microphone acquisition sound data whose volume is set on the basis of a distance between the virtual microphone after the change in the position and the virtual sound source are outputted to a speaker such that an output level of the residual virtual microphone acquisition sound data is gradually decreased and an output level of the current virtual microphone acquisition sound data is gradually increased.

Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for preventing rendering of a character in a video game. The method includes receiving an action regarding a first character rendered in a first-person point of view (POV), the action causing the POV of the first character to change from the first-person POV to a third-person POV. The method includes detecting the POV of the first character is to be changed. The method includes determining characters are outside of a field of view (FOV) of the first character in the first-person POV and would be within the FOV of the first character in the third-person POV. The method includes changing the POV of the first character from the first-person POV to a third person POV. The method includes causing rendering of the video game in a third-person POV of the first character, the rendering preventing rendering of other characters.

A multiplayer game implementing a method for generating a plurality of training virtual areas; generating at least one GUI to display a list of the plurality of training virtual areas; using the at least one GUI, enabling a player to choose one of the plurality of training virtual areas, wherein said one of the plurality of training virtual areas is associated with at least one attribute; allowing the player to navigate a virtual character to said one of the plurality of training virtual areas; monitoring an activity of the virtual character in said one of the plurality of training virtual areas; determining a value of the at least one attribute based on the monitored activity; and updating a first attributes profile of the virtual character to a second attributes profile based on the determined value of the at least one attribute.

An information processing device for drawing an object arranged in a three-dimensional virtual space, in an expression viewed from a virtual camera, the object including a field object associated with a two-dimensional plane defined by a first axis and a second axis, and a specific object arranged on the field object, the device including: a change processing unit changing a region of the field object falling within a viewing angle of the virtual camera; and a deformation processing unit deforming the field object, in which in a case where the region is changed by the change processing unit, the deformation processing unit makes a deformation mode of the field object different when it is determined that the specific object is positioned in the region after being changed and when it is determined that the specific object is not positioned in the region after being changed.

In one embodiment, a method includes, by a client system of a first user, presenting, by the client system, a display interface comprising a plurality of layers, where a first layer is a game container containing a first game, the display interface comprising an activatable element to access a video communication, receiving, by the client system, an input from the first user to initiate the video communication with a second user within the first layer of the display interface via a selection of the activatable element, generating, by the client system, a video container in a second layer of the display interface, where the second layer contains the video communication with the second user in a full-screen view, reducing, by the client system, the first layer containing the game container to a thumbnail within the display interface, and overlaying, by the client system, the first layer onto the second layer.

Systems and methods for providing customized camera views of virtualized environments are provided herein. In one embodiment a method includes detecting a gameplay event of interest within a virtual gaming environment and displaying a customized camera view of the gameplay event of interest based on user input receiving during traversal of a projectile from a weapon to a target. The customized camera view has a focal point of the projectile.

Systems and methods for providing customized camera views and customized objects within virtualized environments are provided herein. In one embodiment a method includes detecting a gameplay event of interest within a virtual gaming environment and displaying a customized camera view of the gameplay event of interest based on user input receiving during traversal of a projectile from a weapon to a target. The customized camera view has a focal point of the projectile. In some embodiments the projectile has a virtual wrapper that can include a user-provided image.

Techniques for enabling selection of one or more viewports from a scene representation are disclosed herein. In some aspects, scene configuration information including a position of at least one viewport relative to the scene may be received. Each of the at least one viewport may be associated with a streaming camera view. A scene representation may then be defined based, at least in part, on the scene configuration information. One or more viewport representations corresponding to each of the at least one viewport may be positioned within the scene representation, based, at least in part on, the scene configuration information. The scene representation, including the at least one viewport representation, may be displayed, for example, to a user. Each viewport representation may allow the respective streaming camera view associated with the corresponding viewport may to be displayed, such as by selection of each viewport representation.
