Collaborative remote interactive platform
Systems and methods for providing a remote interactive experience are provided. The systems and methods may include computer executable code stored in a non-transitory memory and run on a processor. The remote interactive experience may be provided via a digital platform. The platform may provide management of a shared browser. The shared browser may be shared by a plurality of participant devices. The platform may store the shared browser in a cloud-based location. The shared browser may thus be cloud-based. The platform may enable the plurality of participant devices to access the cloud-based shared browser. The platform may receive, as input, actions performed to each of the plurality of participant devices. The actions may include at least one of an action list that includes: a cursor movement, a window-sizing, a window-positioning, and a file navigation performed to the shared browser. The platform may propagate the actions to the shared browser.
1. A method for providing a remote interactive experience via a digital platform, sai d method executed by computer executable code stored in a non-transitory memory and run on a processor, said method comprising:
receiving instructions from a host device to configure a virtual room, said virtual room that is configured to be accessible to one or more participant devices;
receiving, from a first participant device, a request to access the virtual room; and in response to the request, rendering a canvas on a screen of the first participant device, said canvas comprising a customizable graphical representation; wherein:
the canvas is configured at least in part based on the instructions of the host device;
the instructions comprise a selection of one or more interaction apps, from a set of interaction apps, for inclusion in the canvas;
the one or more participant devices are associated with a level of access, said level of access that is based at least in part on the instructions, and said level of access which comprises a set of rules that define, for each of the one or more participant devices:
which interaction apps are included in the canvas; which interaction apps the participant device is permissioned to activate; and
a level of permission of the participant device to modify an interaction app; and
the interaction apps include a coordinated window, said coordinated window that is: activated by the host device or the first participant device; initiated with a layout and a content, said layout comprising a size, a shape, and a screen position, and said content comprising words and images that are displayed within the coordinated window; rendered on the canvas of the host device and on the canvas of the first participant device with the same layout and content; and when any one of the host device and the first participant device executes an action to modify the layout or the content of the coordinated window, the modification is applied to the coordinated windows on the canvases of both devices.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:
receiving requests, from a plurality of other participant devices, to access the virtual room;
in response to the requests, rendering a canvas on the screens of the other participant devices, and
when any one of the devices executes the action, the modification is applied to the coordinated windows on the canvases of all the devices.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the content comprises: a pdf file, an image file, a web browser, or a shared document with a text editor.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the first participant device is only permissioned to activate or modify the coordinated window when the host device selects an option to provide said permission.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the canvases are configured to include at least two interaction apps that are video tiles, and at least one interaction app that is a coordinated window.
