Abstract

Implementing remote participation in events is provided. The implementation includes providing a view of an instance of an application on endpoint systems in response to a common option received from users of the endpoint systems of the application, receiving a role from each of the users that include an active participant role and a coach role, and receiving performance data from the endpoint systems. The implementation also includes populating the view with virtual representations of the users of each of the endpoint systems having the active participant role. The populating includes positioning the virtual representations at various locations in the view. The various locations are indicative of the performance data and the view represents an event selected as the common option, which includes a simulated exercise course.
