Abstract

This invention presents systems and methods for supporting creation of interactive session of a graphical interactive application based on video. It comprises a server system that associates video with graphical interactive application contexts wherein the video can be retrieved or queried by a client. It allows user of a client to create interactive session of a graphical interactive application corresponding to the associated video. Graphical interactive application context comes from previous executed interactive session and comprises saved graphical interactive application state. User can replay a saved graphical interactive application session at the start or end or any pre-defined frame moment of the associated video. The context can be downloaded to a client and the client can create the corresponding graphical interactive application session.
