FIELD: information technology.
SUBSTANCE: machine-executable method of integrating linear content with interactive features includes delivering linear video content from hosting service centres by client devices associated with users located at a distance from the hosting service centres. Further, the method includes delivering interactive content through the Internet from hosting service centres to client devices located at a distance from the hosting service centres through compressed streaming interactive video. Interactive content is generated in real-time through servers executing a video game or an application in hosting service centres. Compressed streaming interactive video is compressed with sufficiently short waiting time such that at least one user interacting with the video game or application perceives that the responses are so instant as if the video game or application is executed on the client device locally for at least one user.
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.
