Enhancing Virtual Experiences with AWS Pixel Streaming for BlackHat Labs

To deliver a photorealistic, responsive, and interactive 3D DJ Khaled chatbot, BlackHat Labs faced several technical challenges:

• Real-time 3D rendering required immense GPU power and low latency.
• The experience needed to scale for tens of thousands of simultaneous users worldwide.
• The platform had to maintain smooth performance on both powerful and low-end devices.
• Security, global accessibility, and cost efficiency were critical to sustaining performance during viral traffic spikes.

The solution demanded cloud-based GPU rendering and streaming technology capable of transforming 3D Unreal Engine content into an interactive web experience — without sacrificing fidelity or responsiveness.

NextGen Coding Company engineered a high-performance virtual interaction system using AWS Pixel Streaming, integrating Unreal Engine, cloud GPUs, and global content delivery services to deliver a seamless, scalable experience.

• Implemented AWS Pixel Streaming to render the DJ Khaled 3D chatbot entirely in the cloud.
• All rendering was performed on AWS EC2 G4 instances powered by NVIDIA T4 GPUs, streaming visuals directly to web browsers in real time.
• User inputs (voice commands and messages) were transmitted back to the cloud instantly, enabling dynamic responses from the chatbot with no client-side performance limitations.

Scalable and Low-Latency Infrastructure

• Configured AWS Auto Scaling Groups to dynamically allocate GPU resources during live events or peak usage periods.
• Utilized Amazon CloudFront for global content delivery, ensuring smooth streaming with minimal latency regardless of user location.
• Optimized network paths through adaptive bitrate streaming, automatically adjusting video quality based on user bandwidth.

Interactive User Experience Design

• Integrated the streaming service within the official DJ Khaled website using AWS Amplify and React, ensuring full compatibility with existing web infrastructure.
• Designed responsive front-end components that enabled users to engage seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices.
• Enhanced interactivity using Amazon Kinesis to handle real-time user input streams and trigger chatbot responses instantly.

Security, Availability, and Asset Management

• Deployed Amazon S3 for secure, high-speed access to 3D assets, audio clips, and animation files.
• Implemented AWS Shield and AWS WAF to protect against DDoS attacks and ensure uninterrupted availability.
• Configured IAM roles for controlled access, safeguarding critical media resources and user interaction data.

Cost-Optimized Cloud Operation

• Leveraged on-demand EC2 instances for temporary rendering sessions and released resources during off-peak hours.
• Achieved cost savings through dynamic provisioning while maintaining consistent performance under load.

NextGen’s AWS-powered implementation transformed DJ Khaled’s website into a landmark digital experience, achieving both scalability and innovation.

• Immersive Real-Time Experience: Fans interacted directly with a lifelike, 3D-rendered DJ Khaled chatbot featuring authentic voice responses and animations.
• 100,000+ concurrent users supported during the launch, with zero downtime due to auto-scaling GPU infrastructure.
• 40% increase in user engagement, driven by prolonged session durations and viral sharing of the virtual experience.
• Latency reduced to sub-200ms, ensuring smooth real-time interactions even under global traffic.
• Cross-device accessibility achieved through browser-based streaming, enabling high-quality performance on mobile and desktop without additional downloads.
• Operational costs reduced by 25% via dynamic scaling and resource optimization.

By combining AWS Pixel Streaming, React, and Unreal Engine, NextGen delivered a cutting-edge, cloud-powered experience that redefined celebrity-fan interaction in real time.

NextGen’s implementation demonstrated how AWS Pixel Streaming can revolutionize virtual engagement for entertainment brands. By merging real-time 3D rendering, cloud scalability, and interactive AI, the project set a new standard for immersive digital storytelling—bridging the gap between technology and entertainment.
