A user interface may permit the user to quickly view and/or understand temporally and/or spatially disparate information. The telepresence device may pre-gather looped video of spatially disparate areas in an environment. A temporal control mechanism may start video playback at a desired point hi a current or historical video segment. Notations may be associated with time spans in a video and recalled by capturing an image similar to a frame in the time span of the video. An area of interest may be selected and video containing the area of interest may be automatically found. Situational data may be recorded and used to recall video segments of interest. The telepresence device may synchronize video playback and movement. A series of videos may be recorded at predetermined time intervals to capture visually trending information. ## Claims ### Claim at position 1 1-41. (canceled) ### Claim 42 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-readable instruction code for performing a method of annotating video segments received from a telepresence device, the method comprising: receiving streaming video from the telepresence device, the streaming video including images of a patient; displaying the streaming video to a user; receiving an annotation from the user, the annotation relating to the condition of the patient in at least one of the images of the patient; storing the received annotation and an identification of the user in association with the video; and displaying the annotation and the identification of the user when replaying the stored video. ### Claim 43 (depends on 42) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42, wherein the method further comprises receiving an indication of a desired time span from the user. ### Claim 44 (depends on 43) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 43, wherein receiving an indication of a desired time span comprises: receiving a user indicated start time; and automatically selecting an end time based on a default time span length. ### Claim 45 (depends on 43) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 43, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a drawn object to be overlaid on at least one of the images of the patient; and displaying the drawn object overlaid on the at least one images of the patient when replaying the stored video. ### Claim 46 (depends on 43) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 43, wherein the method further comprises displaying an interactive indication in a location corresponding to the desired time span, wherein the user may access the received annotation using the interactive indication. ### Claim 47 (depends on 42) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42, wherein the annotation is received from the user while the streaming video is being received from the telepresence device. ### Claim 48 (depends on 42) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42, wherein the method further comprises: receiving a second annotation from a second user; and stored the second annotation and identification of the second user in association with the video. ### Claim 49 (depends on 42) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42, wherein the method further comprises storing a title in association with the annotation, the title including text received from the user. ### Claim 50 (depends on 42) The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 42, wherein the method further comprises storing a note in association with the annotation, the note including text received from the user.
