An interactive multi-view module identifies a plurality of media items associated with one or more real-world events. Each of the plurality of media items is created by capturing the real-world events from a particular geographic location. The interactive multi-view module determines a geographic position associated with each of the media items and presents the media items in an interactive multi-view player interface based at least on the geographic positions. The interactive multi-view player interface allows a user to switch between of media items, and indicates at least one of a video density indicating a number of media items available at a given point in time or an event highlight indicating a popularity of the media items at a given point in time. The popularity of the respective media items is determined using one or more factors comprising a number of views of the media items at a given point in time.
