ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns an interactive method for communicating data to users (1) of a communication network (3). Each user (1) is provided with a computer equipment (2) connected to the electronic communication network (3). The method uses at least a virtual object (6). Said method comprises the following steps which consist in: distributing, via the communication network (3), data enabling the computer equipment (2) to display fixed and/or animated images (10) and/or to compute screen pages (10) and display them; distributing, via the communication network (3), data enabling the computer equipment (2) to compute the virtual object (6) and display it by overstriking on the images and/or the screen pages (10); real remote control of the virtual object (6) and simultaneous animation thereof by an operator (7) independent relative to the images and/or the screen pages (10)
