Portable interactive devices of audience members are remotely operated to substantially "simultaneously" respond to a signal from an origin, e.g., a central server, despite variation in latencies among the devices in order to produce a shared experience. The audience members are reached through varying communication links. Latencies vary among portable interactive devices and among carriers. A firing time for the portable interactive devices is selected to occur at a time in the future. An execution time at which a respective portable interactive device is commanded to operate is a function of the firing time minus the latency control signal reaches clients in a venue in an audience or at a remote location simultaneously despite the varying latencies. |
