Abstract
A mechanism is provided for remote virtual reality viewing of an event using crowdsourcing. Each video perspective of a plurality of video perspectives of the event is analyzed to identify content and context of the event. A digital virtual reality (VR) experience (VRX) token stream of each video perspective of the plurality of video perspectives is produced based on the identified content and the identified context of the event. Responsive to a remote user initiating a viewing of a virtual reality presentation of the event, a set of digital VRX token streams of the event is presented to the remote user. Responsive to the remote user selecting one digital VRX token stream of the set of digital VRX token streams, the selected digital VRX token stream is presented to the remote user in a virtual reality format.
