Abstract
A technology is described for streaming object data for a virtual object to a simulation client and dynamically incorporating the virtual object into a simulation environment in response to detecting an interactive event in the simulation environment. An example method may include receiving an indication of an interactive event associated with a simulation environment, where the indication of the interactive event may be sent over a network by a simulation client configured to execute the simulation environment. In response to receiving the indication of the interactive event, object data for a virtual object linked to the interactive event may be identified. An audio stream for the virtual object may be obtained, and the object data and the audio stream may be streamed to the simulation client and the virtual object may be incorporated in the simulation environment.
