Apparatus for interactively generating a display signal. The apparatus
comprises: a receiver (2) for receiving a broadcast signal (15), the
broadcast signal comprising a plurality of datastreams each including
image data defining a background object (22 270), and control parameters
(28 39); a foreground computer generated imagery (CGI) device (3) for
generating a foreground computer generated object (CGO); a mixer (4) for
combining the foreground CGO with background object image data to
generate the display signal; and interaction means (3) for receiving the
control parameters from the receiver, monitoring the position of the
foreground CGO, and adapting the display signal with reference to the
monitored position of the foreground CGO and the received control
parameters.
