Abstract
A method for automatically reacting to an audience's vocal reaction during movie playback. A pre-recorded movie is obtained for playback through a display and a speaker. An audience vocal reaction during playback of an original scene in the movie is detected and in response the original scene is lengthened in both picture and sound while playback of the original scene is resumed once the audience vocal reaction has subsided. In another aspect, reverberation is generated in response to and based on the vocal reaction then added as audio output through the speaker, but only until the vocal reaction has ended at which point the added reverberation ends. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
