发明名称 Collaborative musical interaction among avatars
摘要 Collaborative musical performance and/or composition may be facilitated in virtual spaces. A song selection and/or a first instrument selection associated with a first avatar may be received. A representation may be provided in the virtual space of the first avatar playing a first track of the song using the first instrument, which may correspond to a component of the song associated with the first instrument. A second avatar may be prompted to select a second instrument responsive to the second avatar being positioned within an interaction region associated with the first avatar. A representation may be provided in the virtual space of the first avatar playing a first track of the first song using the first instrument and the second avatar playing a second track of the first song using the second instrument. The second track may correspond to a component of the first song associated with the second instrument.

主权项 1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating collaborative musical performance and/or composition in a virtual space, the method being implemented in a computer system including one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising: receiving, using one or more physical processors, a first song selection associated with a first avatar, the first song selection indicating a first song from a first song inventory associated with the first avatar, the first avatar being among a plurality of avatars presented in a virtual space; receiving, using one or more physical processors, a first instrument selection associated with the first avatar, the first instrument selection indicating a first instrument from a first instrument inventory associated with the first avatar; providing, using one or more physical processors, a representation in the virtual space of the first avatar playing a first track of the first song using the first instrument, the first track being based on input provided by a first user and corresponding to a first component of the first song associated with the first instrument; prompting, using one or more physical processors, a second avatar to select an instrument to play along with the first avatar responsive to the second avatar being positioned within a first interaction region associated with the first avatar, the second avatar being among the plurality of avatars presented in the virtual space; receiving, using one or more physical processors, a second instrument selection associated with the second avatar, the second instrument selection indicating a second instrument from a second instrument inventory associated with the second avatar; and providing, using one or more physical processors, a representation in the virtual space of the first avatar playing a first track of the first song using the first instrument and the second avatar playing a second track of the first song using the second instrument, the second track being based on input provided by a second user and corresponding to a component of the first song associated with the second instrument; wherein the first track being played by the first avatar is automatically synchronized with the second track being played by the second avatar such that synchronization of the first and the second tracks of the first song is independent from musical talents of the first user and the second user, and wherein there is a limit to the tracks that can be heard by a given user such that a given track is heard by the given user over one or more other tracks when there are more avatars playing a given song than the number of tracks for that given song.
