Abstract
A display device simultaneously displays at least the following: a video depicting an item in a scene; a tag in a first position overlaid on the video, the tag being associated with the item depicted in the video, wherein the tag includes descriptive text information describing the item depicted in the video; and a visually perceptible indicator extending between a proximity where the item is depicted in the video and a proximity of the first position. The tag undergoes continuous motion relative to at least a portion of the video scene from the first position to a second position different from the first position, while the display device displays the video and the tag overlaid on the video while the tag undergoes continuous motion.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- causing a display device to simultaneously display at least the following:
- a video depicting an item in a scene;
- a tag in a first position overlaid on the video, the tag being associated with the item depicted in the video, wherein the tag includes descriptive text information describing the item depicted in the video;
- and
- a visually perceptible indicator extending between a proximity where the item is depicted in the video and a proximity of the first position;
- and
- causing the tag to undergo continuous motion relative to at least a portion of the video scene from the first position to a second position different from the first position, while causing the display device to display the video and the tag overlaid on the video while the tag undergoes continuous motion.
An apparatus comprising for use with a video display device, the apparatus comprising a hardware processor configured to:
- cause the video display device to simultaneously display at least the following:
