Original Abstract Submitted
Viewers of a computer game can send reactions such as graphic-based reactions to another person playing the computer game. The reactions are then used to trigger in-game power-ups such as health power-ups and character ability power-ups. In some examples, meeting certain criteria for the reactions may trigger the power-up, such as a threshold number of reactions being received within a threshold period of time and/or a particular sequence of different reactions being received.
