A system and method for enhancing a stream of video images in real-time. A primary stream of video images of a real event is obtained using broadcast video cameras. That primary stream also contains images of a display-object that change in appearance during the broadcast. At the same time, a stream of images of an agent-object is obtained. This may, for instance, be an animated computer-generated figure and may be stored on a local computer hard drive. The animated figure is choreographed and synchronized to be in time with the change of appearance of the display-object. By combining the primary and secondary image streams using match-moving technology, a composite stream is formed in which the agent-object appears to be causally linked to the display-object.

Generation of context-aware subtitles for a video is described. A subtitle context system receives video subtitles, extracts words from the subtitles, and determines a part of speech describing each word's use in the video. The subtitle context system then determines a difficulty score for each of the words based on the length of the word, a frequency with which the word is used in the language of the video, and a language proficiency score for a user viewing the video. To identify which words of the subtitles are likely difficult for the viewing user to understand, the subtitle context system compares the computed difficulty scores to a difficulty score threshold. For each word having a difficulty score that satisfies the threshold, a definition and one or more synonyms are ascertained. During video playback, the definition and synonyms for difficult to understand words are displayed concurrently with the word. 1.
