Interactive livestreaming and the future of esports
summary
Genvid builds live interactive overlays that add real features to streams: a Counter-Strike premium pass that shows real-time inventories, mini‑maps and selectable camera angles; a fighting‑game implementation that exposes hitbox and input overlays plus live win‑probability at Evo; and VR/indie tests where viewers throw bombs and cause viewer-influenced drops. Tools integrate with Twitch/YouTube, scale from informational to fully game‑affecting inputs, already monetized via passes and sponsorships, and the company grows from 4 to ~40 people.
