METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO FACILITATE A LARGE GATHERING EXPERIENCE

Methods and systems to provide an emotional experience for people connected via devices in a large gathering of an event through an experience engine system are disclosed. An example the method includes: aggregating contributions from individuals or small groups into an aggregate to participate in an expression of a whole of the large gathering; generating the expression of the whole for broadcast when the aggregate of the contributions satisfy a threshold; facilitating formation of a small group of participants within the large gathering; providing a service to facilitate synchronized intimate interaction within the small group; and generating a version of a gathering presentation configured to selectively focus attention of a large subset of participants of the large gathering on contents related to or from a specific individual contributor or a specific small group of the large gathering.
