Upon user interaction or detection of a user, one or more of the plurality of video display screens seamlessly transitions away from the video content to display a separate video content for interaction with the user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A multi-panel video wall system comprising: a computer having a memory containing a video file and a processor for executing the video file, the computer having an Internet connection for access to a remote Javascript database; a plurality of video display screens interconnected to one another and to the computer, each of the plurality of video display screens configured to work together to display a video content generated from the video file that extends across all of the plurality of video display screens, and each such video display screen configured to operate independently from one another to display one or more separate video contents generated from the video file; wherein one or more of the plurality of video display screens are configured to seamlessly transition away from the video content upon detection of a user to display a separate video content for interaction with the user. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 1 wherein the computer memory contains front end software for displaying the video file and back end software for pulling instructions and content from the Javascript database, and upon detection of a user, the back end software is configured to instruct the front end software to display the separate interactive video content. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 2 wherein the back end software contains one or more Javascript components and the front end software is configured to pull instructions from at least one Javascript component through which the back end software is configured to serve the separate interactive video content. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 1 wherein one or more of the plurality of video display screens includes a masked region on the surface of the screen for interaction with a user, said masked region configured to toggle the display of video content on the video wall system from a first video content to a second video content. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 1 wherein the video file is stored remotely. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 5 wherein the computer is configured to download the video file to the memory prior to display of the video content. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 5 wherein the computer is configured to stream the video file at the time of display of the video content. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 1 further comprising at least one camera operatively connected to one or more of the plurality of video display screens, the camera configured to detect one or more physical characteristics relating to the user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 8 wherein the computer is configured to select separate video content based on one or more of the detected physical characteristics relating to the user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The multi-panel video wall system of claim 8 wherein the computer is configured to restrict certain video content to the user based on one or more of the detected physical characteristics relating to the user. ### Claim 11 A method for displaying a separate interactive video content on a video display screen to a user, the video display screen being one of a plurality of video display screens forming a video wall, the method comprising the steps of: providing a computer having a memory containing a video file and a processor for executing the video file, the computer being interconnected with the plurality of video display screens and having an Internet connection for accessing a remote Javascript database; displaying a video content across all of the plurality of video display screens, the video content generated from the video file; detecting a user interacting with one of the plurality of video display screens and seamlessly transitioning said one of the plurality video display screens from the video content to a separate video content for interaction with the user; and displaying the separate interactive video content on said one of a plurality of video display screens interacting with the user. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of storing the video file in a remote storage device operatively connected with the computer. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12 wherein the computer downloads the video file to the memory prior to displaying the video content. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12 wherein the computer streams the video file at the time of displaying the video content. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11 wherein the user is detected using a badge or user identification presented by the user. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15 wherein the computer restricts certain video content presented to the user based on the identification of the user. ### Claim 17 A method for displaying a separate interactive video content on a video display screen to a user, the video display screen being one of a plurality of video display screens forming a video wall, the method comprising the steps of: providing a computer having a memory containing a video file and a processor for executing the video file, the computer being interconnected with the plurality of video display screens and having an Internet connection for accessing a remote Javascript database; providing at least one camera operatively connected to one or more of the video display screens; displaying a video content across all of the plurality of video display screens, the video content generated from the video file; detecting a user interacting with one of the plurality of video display screens and further detecting one or more physical characteristics relating to said user; identifying a separate video content for displaying to said user based on one or more of the detected physical characteristics of said user; seamlessly transitioning said one of the plurality video display screens from the video content to the separate video content for interaction with the user; and displaying the separate interactive video content on said one of a plurality of video display screens interacting with the user. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17 wherein the physical characteristic of the user is a determination of the age of the user. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17 wherein the physical characteristic of the user is a determination of the gender of the user. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The method of claim 17 wherein the physical characteristic of the user is a determination of the race of the user.
