Toward Live Streamed Improvisational Game Experiences
summary
A streaming system called StAGE links onstage improvisers, an off-screen co-present host, and a remote Twitch audience; researchers build and playtest four improv game prototypes with experienced improvisers and live remote viewers and find the host is essential. The host performs host-curated audience input to hide latency and insert suggestions with comedic timing, enabling novel participatory roles and felt co-creation, though distributed liveness and shared audience reactions remain unresolved.
