Abstract
An exemplary character interaction system located at a first site receives character behavior data representative of captured behavior of a real-world performer located at a second site. Based on the character behavior data, the system presents, to an interactive user at the first site, a representation of a virtual character avatar that performs, in real-time synchrony with the real-world performer at the second site, the captured behavior of the real-world performer. During this presentation of the virtual character avatar, the system provides user video data representative of captured behavior of the interactive user for presentation to the real-world performer to allow the real-world performer to interact in real time with the interactive user via the virtual character avatar. The system also generates an augmented representation of an interaction between the virtual character avatar and the interactive user for presentation to a non-interactive observer. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
