Dynamic 2D and 3D gestural interfaces for audio video players capable of uninterrupted continuity of fruition of audio video feeds

A method of manipulating an audio-video visualization in a multi dimensional virtual environment implemented in a computer system having a display unit for displaying the virtual environment and a gesture driven interface and a client software object adapted to play a plurality of streaming sources relating to an event, each of the streaming sources corresponding to a different viewpoint of the same event, said method manipulating visualization in response to predetermined user gestures and movements identified by the gesture driven interface, comprising:

• initially presenting to the display data from a first of said streaming sources representing a first viewpoint;
• receiving user gestural input from the gesture driven interface, the gesture comprising a user body movement;
• a client software object capable of playing a plurality of multimedia streaming sources;
• said multimedia streaming sources are corresponding to digitally encoded files related to an event;
• said multimedia streaming sources corresponding to different viewpoints of said event;
• said viewpoints having a connection graph related to their positioning in space;
• said software initially playing a selection of a first multimedia streaming source from said plurality of multimedia streaming sources;
• interpreting said gesture as a command to change viewpoints of the event to a commanded viewpoint;
• consulting the connection graph relating positions of each view point in a 3-dimensional space to coordinates of the event to determine identity of the commanded viewpoint;
• consulting a stored table that relates each streaming source to a particular viewpoint in the connection graph;
• switching presentation of audio-video on the display in an uninterrupted manner from the first of said streaming sources to another of said streaming sources that represents the commanded viewpoint of the event.
