The embodiment can realize the synchronization and the depth fusion of the real world and the virtual world, and the interaction in the real world is expressed in the picture of the virtual world, and the picture (similar to a game picture, a short video picture and the like) of the virtual video program of the virtual world in the embodiment can be interactive, namely the interactive information of the user, such as favorite collection, barrage, voting and the like, is received, and the information can be synchronously displayed in the playing picture of the virtual video program. In the present embodiment, while rendering the video virtual program picture, the local client/program playing end is provided with UI design elements (e.g., interaction controls) for interacting with the viewer user, for example, a praise to a virtual character and a gift to the virtual character shown in the program, and barrage information are sent to the server side for pushing resource package data, and then the server sends the collected UI interaction information to the clients of other viewer users of the virtual video program for synchronous display. UI interaction such as voting is designed with a similar principle, and will not be described herein again. The UI interaction design may be specific to a specific virtual character in the video (since there may be multiple virtual characters in the video, such as a program of a small article show), and may be specifically configured, so as to increase the interaction degree and entertainment of the virtual video. Preferably, the UI interaction may be loaded directly on a trigger on the 3D model of the virtual character, for example, by continuously clicking on the model that triggers one of the actors in a certain program, thereby activating the interactive information for sending the cartoons to the server.

In some implementation scenarios of the present embodiment, the real-time rendering, displaying and loading the resource package data includes: loading resource package data in a designated map area of a virtual game scene; determining an interactive virtual role participating in a virtual video program in a virtual game scene, and determining a subscription account number of the virtual video program; and rendering and displaying a playing picture of the virtual video program on a playing end where the interactive virtual character and the subscription account are located.

Preferably, the virtual video with the content of the virtual character as a theme can also be used as a subscription theme or a website server based on the virtual character. For example, a certain netbook IP forms a virtual video, which can subscribe to update, from a virtual video in an APP such as a jittering sound or a WeChat video. Therefore, the player at the client can use the rendering engine to render the video data updated under the subscription account for loading and playing.

The implementation scene is a game scene, the stage of the virtual video program is a map resource, only NPC and PCC participating in the virtual video program can be loaded and used/interacted in the map resource, and when rendering output is carried out, the playing picture of the virtual video program is displayed on a game client terminal which is unlocked or purchases the interactive virtual character in a game, and the playing picture is loaded and rendered on a certain map position of a game map and can also be displayed to a player subscribing the virtual video program for watching. In the implementation scene, the virtual stage of the virtual video program is used as a map resource in a similar game scene, and is developed for audiences to edit and then rendered to form a stage with thousands of people and thousands of faces. A game scene may be used as a stage background for the virtual video program. And the user has the authority to obtain the stage background resources and edit the stage background resources. Preferably, an NPC character may be purchased in the stage system, and an interaction of a specific performance action such as dance and martial arts realized by AI, or a performance character of a specific scenario may be completed, where the purchasable NPC character is a part of the game map and is used as an accessory resource of the map resource, and the NPC character is bound to the map resource.
