Abstract

Providing a shared experience of a pre-recorded video content on video screens of devices of a plurality of participants includes presenting, on the video screens, video content corresponding to the pre-recorded video having superimposed thereon a live video feed, determining feedback of the participants to the video content, providing to the devices background noise that varies according to the feedback of the participants, and altering acoustic properties of sound for the video content provided to the devices based on acoustic properties of an emulated presentation space for the video content. Altering acoustic properties may include varying echo and reverberation levels and intensities of the sound. Altering acoustic properties may use secondary echo-generating audio reproduction sources for varying echo and emulators of reverberating surfaces for varying reverberation levels. A subset of the participants may be immersed in the emulated presentation space. The sound audio properties may be different for different participants.
