Abstract

The invention concerns a device for generating mutual photometric effects and a server for delivering photometric parameters for generating mutual photometric effects and a system including such a device and such a server. The device comprises a receiver for receiving and demultiplexing the visual data sets and photometric parameters respectively associated with the data sets, a module for defining the mutual photometric effects to be generated for these photometric parameters, a compositor and a rendering module for positioning the visual data sets in the common support space and applying the effects defined for the photometric parameters from at least one of the visual data sets to at least one other of the visual data sets so that at least one visual data set influences one other visual data set in the common support space.
