FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: machine-executable method for remote setup of streaming interactive video includes executing action video games or applications on one or more servers of a hosting service centre through which video output is generated. The method also includes compressing video output, through which compressed streaming interactive video is generated. Further, according to the method, the compressed streaming interactive video is transmitted to one or more users playing or using action video games or applications on one or more corresponding client devices located at a remote distance from the hosting service centre. The compressed streaming interactive video is compressed with to-and-fro signal transmission time equal to about 90 ms in the worst case, when the remote distance is equal to 1500 miles or less, such that each of the one or more users has the impression that the action video games or applications respond instantly.
EFFECT: providing recursive reconstruction of streaming video on a hosting service server, through which users of action video games or applications perceive instant response in a game.
