Abstract: A virtual cypher system for providing online real-time performances. The virtual cypher system creates a virtual cypher for providing sequential online real-time performances based on a filtering scheme using customizable user selected features. The virtual cypher system generates a user profile page for each new user, determines whether a virtual cypher exists for a category and performance selection chosen by a user, creates a virtual cypher in conformance with the customizable user selected features when the system determines that a virtual cypher does not already exist for the category and performance selection, and adds the user to a waitlist queue. Further, the virtual cypher system initiates, in sequential order, a content-specific real-time performance corresponding to the performance selection, for each user in the waitlist queue, and transmits received real-time streaming data corresponding to the performance by each user to viewers of the virtual cypher.
