Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for augmenting a video game with an image of a real world person. One example method includes executing the video game at a server. The video game is played by a user via a user device. The method includes identifying a generic spectator within the video game. The method includes determining virtual coordinates associated with the generic spectator. The method includes receiving, at the server, data associated with the image of the real world person. The data is usable to display at least part of the image of the real world person within the video game. The method includes inserting said at least part of the image of the real world person into the video game at the virtual coordinates associated with the generic spectator. The method includes streaming video to the user device. The video includes said at least part of the image of the real world person.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for augmenting a video game with an avatar of a real world person. A method provides for executing a video game being played by a user via a head mounted display (HMD). The method includes operations for identifying a generic spectator within the video game and determining virtual coordinates associated with the generic spectator. The method also provides receiving data associated with an avatar of a real world person that is usable to display the avatar within the video game in three-dimensional (3D) form. The method provides removing the generic spectator from view within the video game and inserting the avatar into the video game at the virtual coordinates associated with the generic spectator. The method further provides rendering a virtual reality (VR) presentation of the video game for the user having a view of the avatar and sending the VR presentation to an HMD of the user for display.
