Claim 0:
1. A method for creation of interactive audio-video contents, through visualization on an interactive display, comprising:
providing at least one set of interconnected video segments that are adapted to evolve in time and include an initial video segment (START) and one or more final video segments (END1, . . . ENDn), each video segment including a non-interactive video clip having a given, or even null, duration, and an interactive node, said interactive node acting as an interconnection with one or more other video segments, each interactive node including a loop interval (TLi, TLf) subject to continuous cyclical forward and backward time evolution,
providing at least one set of commands adapted to determine connection choices among said video segments, wherein said commands can be activated during at least one of said loop intervals,
in at least one of said loop intervals, making association between said commands and video segments of said one or more other video segments, and
upon activation of a command during said loop interval, exiting said interval and continuing in that video segment of said one or more other video segments in which said interactive audio-video content continues, depending on the command chosen from said set of commands, starting from said initial video segment (START) and ending in one of said final video segments (END1, . . . ENDn), so as to create an interactive audio-video content on said interactive display as a sequence of said video segments, wherein:
said interactive node includes a node sequence of video content including said loop interval and further forward and backward time continuation intervals around said loop interval, time markers being set:
in said loop interval as start instants (TLi) and end instants (TLf) of the continuous cyclical forward and backward time evolution;
in said further forward time continuation intervals (Tf1 . . . Tfn); and
in said further backward time continuation intervals (Tb1 . . . Tbn);

each time marker in said further forward and backward continuation intervals corresponds to the instant when the interactive audio-video content continues in one of said one or more other video segments, the start instant of which is associated with one of said time markers.
