Systems and methods for modifying fast-forward speeds based on the user's reaction time when detecting points of interest in content

An apparatus comprising:

• control circuitry;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the control circuitry, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
• generate, during a fast-forward operation, an overlay for display wherein the overlay displays a plurality of frames from the media asset, wherein the plurality of frames are displayed one at a time and change according to a first frequency threshold;
• detect that the fast-forwarding operation is approaching a frame of interest;
• in response to detecting that the fast-forwarding operation is approaching the frame of interest, display the plurality of frames according to a second frequency threshold;
• detect an input to resume playback;
• and
• in response to detecting the input to resume playback, display the media asset at a default playback speed from a point corresponding to when the input to resume playback was detected.
