ABSTRACT:
A response metric which indicates the response of an audience member(s) is first generated and transferred to the system which is broadcasting the presentation. The broadcast system uses the response metric to generate a combined response metric. The broadcast system then generates an audio feedback by activating a response synthesizer(s) based on this combined response metric. In one embodiment, the broadcast system generates the combined response metric by combining response metrics received from multiple audience systems. In an alternate embodiment, each audience system generates the audio feedback locally. In one embodiment, the audience response being synthesized is applause.
