Abstract
Systems and methods for presenting an interactive media guidance application are provided. One or more three-dimensional objects are presented in a guidance display, where each three-dimensional object represents a media asset. In response to receiving an indication from the user of one of the three-dimensional objects, the selected three-dimensional object or a region containing the selected three-dimensional object may be animated. The animation of the selected three-dimensional object or the region containing the selected three-dimensional object in the guidance display may be made relative to the remainder of three-dimensional objects that have not been selected by the user.
Claims21
A method for presenting an interactive media guidance application, the method comprising:
- storing a plurality of three-dimensional objects, wherein each of the plurality of three-dimensional objects represents a media asset;
- causing a subset of the plurality of three-dimensional objects to be presented to a user;
- receiving a user selection of a three-dimensional object from the subset of the plurality of three-dimensional objects;
- and
- in response to receiving the user selection, animating the three-dimensional object relative to the subset of the plurality of three-dimensional objects not selected by the user.
A system for presenting an interactive media guidance application to a user, the system comprising:
- a storage device;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- store a plurality of three-dimensional objects in the storage device, wherein each of the plurality of three-dimensional objects represents a media asset;
- cause a subset of the plurality of three-dimensional objects from the storage device to be presented to a user;
- receive a user selection of a three-dimensional object from the subset of the plurality of three-dimensional objects;
- and
- in response to receiving the user selection, animate the three-dimensional object relative to the subset of the plurality of three-dimensional objects not selected by the user.
