Abstract
Systems and methods for virtual interactions are described. One or more users can view or listen to media, react to the media and share such media experience virtually with others. The media experience can take place synchronously, asynchronously or both.

A computer-implemented method of sharing an interactive experience, the method comprising:
- streaming an event to a plurality of user devices including a first user device;
- receiving a plurality of commentary from at least some of the plurality of user devices;
- providing, with the streaming, the plurality of commentary to the plurality of user devices;
- capturing the event using a wearable camera worn by a user of the first device;
- and
- providing control to the first user device such that the first user device can control the streaming for the plurality of user devices;
- wherein the control includes the ability to pause and unpause the streaming;
- wherein the plurality of commentary is rated by one or more of the user devices and the plurality of commentary above a threshold value is placed in a special group of the at least two groups, the special group indicating that commentary from the special group is to be shared with all user devices.
