The disclosure provides a live streaming interaction method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method comprises: receiving an invitation request from a first terminal; transmitting the invitation request to a second terminal, and receiving an acceptance information for the invitation request that is returned by the second terminal; and on the basis of the acceptance information, transmitting to a viewer terminal a connection instruction used for connecting with a second GS so that the viewer terminal stops the connection with a live streaming server and connects to the second GS so as to control a character of the same game as an anchor terminal. In the live streaming interaction method disclosed in the disclosure, a game can be combined with live streaming.

A method of enabling a user to play a game with a virtual friend includes determining a virtual friend having first feature information on the basis of user information, determining a message from the virtual friend to be transmitted to the user on a basis of the user information and the first feature information, transmitting the message to the user; and when the user who has received the message accesses a game, transmitting an invitation message from the virtual friend to the user within the game.

A computing system is configured to execute a computer program on a server and to provide a video stream of the program output to a geographically remote client over a communication network. The computing system is further configured to provide executable content of the computer program to the client over the communication network in parallel with the video stream. When a sufficient amount of the executable content has been provided to the client execution of the computer program is transitioned from the server to the client. The transition optionally includes communicating a state of the computer program from the server to the client. The executable content can be provided to the client in an order that is determined based on the state of the computer program. Those parts of the executable content deemed most likely to be necessary to support game play on the client are given priority.

A system includes a beverage sensor to distinguish one or more beverage states and to communicate the distinguished one or more beverage states to a processor as gameplay control inputs to the game.

Systems and methods for processing operations for head mounted display (HMD) users to join virtual reality (VR) scenes are provided. A computer-implemented method includes providing a first perspective of a VR scene to a first HMD of a first user and receiving an indication that a second user is requesting to join the VR scene provided to the first HMD. The method further includes obtaining real-world position and orientation data of the second HMD relative to the first HMD and then providing, based on said data, a second perspective of the VR scene. The method also provides that the first and second perspectives are each controlled by respective position and orientation changes while viewing the VR scene.

A system and method is provided for continuous gameplay in a multiplayer video game through an unbounded gameplay session. Players may join, exit, and later rejoin a given unbounded gameplay session at any time. A given unbounded gameplay session may therefore continue indefinitely so long as at least one player wishes to continue to gameplay. To facilitate an unbounded gameplay session, the system may score players using time-based or other parameters in a manner that is fair to players who have been playing in the unbounded gameplay session longer than other players.
