1. A method for modifying a displayed video image, comprising:

  • transmitting by a content renderer device a first video image to a renderer display;

    transmitting a supplemented video image by the content renderer device to at least one user device, the supplemented video image having the first video image and having selected GUI control graphics, the GUI control graphics displaying options to modify the first image;

    receiving by the content renderer device user input data from the at least one user device indicative of a corresponding modification of the first image to be displayed on a user display of the at least one user device;

    wherein the user input data indicative of the modification to be displayed being intercepted in realtime prior to the user device acting on the user input data, and being sent by the user device to the content renderer device in realtime;

    transmitting in realtime by the content renderer device a first modified video image to the renderer display, the first modified video image having the first video image and the modifications, and not having the selected GUI control graphics;

    transmitting in realtime by the content renderer device a second modified video image to the at least one user display, the second modified video image having the supplemented video image and the modifications;

    wherein the content renderer device and the user device each having a peer-sharing master software application that is adapted to provide user input data in realtime from the user device to the content renderer device and adapted to transmit the first and second modified video images from the content renderer device;

    wherein the user device receives and displays the second modified video image; and

    wherein a latency time between the user input data being received by the content renderer device and the user device display of the second modified video image is less than a predetermined acceptable latency time.
