Abstract

A system and method for interfacing graphics content with an independent video source to generate interactive media content wherein the source and the viewer can share control of the media content. In one embodiment, a computer implemented method for interfacing a 3-D graphics platform with broadcast video is provided. In this embodiment, the method comprises the step of defining a timelist comprising video triggers, wherein each of the video triggers represents a time at which an event is to occur within a 3-D graphics scene generated using the 3-D graphics platform. The method further comprises the step of receiving a timecode and a video frame from the broadcast video, wherein the timecode is associated with the video frame. The method further comprises the step of effectuating a behavior change for an object in the 3-D graphics scene in response to a match between one of the video triggers and the timecode such that the behavior change is synchronized with the video frame in real-time. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes the above and wherein the broadcast video comprises music video.
