Methods and systems for selecting and displaying items includes causing the display of a large image of a selected item, a plurality of view icons indicative of different views of the selected item, and item details associated with a selected item. After the customer selects a view and/or color for the large image and mouses over the image, a zoom box appears and a corresponding magnified image window appears with a magnified image of the zoom box image for the selected view and color of the item.

Method and system for displaying items

Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating transition in a rendering of a network page given a resizing of a view port of a viewing window on a client device. The client device renders a network page in a view port on a display device, the network page defining a plurality of view port resolution ranges. The client device then implements a first level of changes in a display of the network page in response to resizing of the view port within a respective one of the view port resolution ranges. The client device subsequently implements a second level of changes in the display of the network page in response to resizing of the view port through a transition threshold defined between a respective pair of the view port resolution ranges.

View port resolution independent network pages

Disclosed are various embodiments that provide immersive multimedia views for items. An immersive view for an item is rendered upon a display. The immersive view features an image of the item surrounded by a user interface layer that provides information about the item. The user interface layer is hidden when a cursor moves onto a first portion of the immersive view corresponding to the image of the item. The image of the item is replaced with a video stream of the item when the cursor moves onto a second portion of the immersive view corresponding to the image of the item.

Immersive multimedia views for items

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing separate views for items. A network page providing a summary view of at least a portion of a pool of items is encoded in a computing resource for rendering by a client computing device. A window superimposed over at least a portion of the summary view is rendered by the client computing device. The summary view is deemphasized relative to the window that is superimposed. The window provides a separate view for examination of one item from the pool of items, and the window facilitates a serial examination of the pool of items.

Providing separate views for items

Features are disclosed for an automatic segmentation and alignment of images for display via an interface. The images may have different scales and lengths. As such, items shown in the images, such as clothing, may not be depicted in a uniform way. Segmentation of the images into image portions where a portion of an image shows a specific item is described. The segmentation may be achieved using models and/or complex image analysis. To provide a realistic view of the subject when image segments are presented together on an interface, additional alignment of the image segments may be performed. The alignment may be achieved using models and/or complex image analysis.

Browsing interface for item counterparts having different scales and lengths

Disclosed are various embodiments for facilitating transition in a rendering of a network page given a resizing of a view port of a viewing window. A network page is rendered in a computing system in a view port on a display device, the network page defining a plurality of view port resolution ranges. A first level of changes is implemented in a display of the network page in response to a resizing of the view port within a respective one of the view port resolution ranges. A second level of changes is implemented in the display of the network page in response to a resizing of the view port through a transition threshold defined between a respective pair of the view port resolution ranges.

Disclosed are various embodiments for providing separate views for items. A network page providing a summary view of at least a portion of a pool of items is encoded in a computing resource for rendering by a client computing device. A window superimposed over at least a portion of the summary view is rendered by the client computing device. The window provides a separate view for examination of one item from the pool of items, and the window facilitates a serial examination of the pool of items.

Methods and systems for causing the display of items for the review and selection thereof by a potential purchaser has a plurality of search tools whereby a customer can select certain search criteria for displaying items corresponding to the search criteria for review and selection thereof and comparison therebetween. In one embodiment, the system provides a brand menu whereby a customer can select one or more brands of products for displaying the same in a common display window.

Method and system for selecting and displaying items

Disclosed are various embodiments that provide immersive multimedia views for items. Code for generating an immersive view for an item is obtained from a server, and the immersive view is rendered in the client. The immersive view features an image of the item surrounded by a user interface layer that provides information about the item. The user interface layer is hidden when a cursor moves onto a portion of the immersive view that corresponds to the image of the item. The image of the item may be replaced with a video of the item.

Disclosed are various embodiments for showing images and information associated with a plurality of items individually for each item in a network page. In one embodiment, a page generator generates a network page comprising an image layer and an information layer where the information layer is superimposed over the image layer. The image layer includes an image depicting the item and the information layer depicts information describing the item. Further, the network page may include a set of navigation controls that, when manipulated, triggers a client side application to shift the image currently shown in the image layer out and shift in a new image into the image layer. Contemporaneously, the client side application also replaces the information in the information layer with new information associated with the new image.
