Patent ID: 7882530

Claim:
A computer controlled method comprising: monitoring a first playback position in a time dimension of an experiential data stream on a local device for at least one local audience member; periodically receiving a second playback position related to said experiential data stream, wherein the second playback position corresponds to a remote audience member's advancing playback position which is ahead of the first playback position; advancing the first playback position, which involves presenting the experiential data stream using a fast playback vector that is faster than a nominal playback vector, until the first playback position is in proximity to an audio trigger position for a commentary audio clip; decreasing the playback vector to the nominal playback vector when the first playback position is aligned with the audio trigger position of the commentary audio clip, to present the commentary audio clip and the experiential data stream using the nominal playback vector; increasing the playback vector after presenting the commentary audio clip to advance the first playback position, using the fast playback vector, until the first playback position is aligned with the second playback position; and presenting said experiential data stream using the nominal playback vector.
