The invention relates to systems and methods for navigating, outputting and displaying non-linearly connected groups of transmedia content. Specifically, the invention involves retrieving, from a database, an ordered group of transmedia content data objects comprising a plurality of transmedia content data objects and linking data, whereby each element of the linking data defines a directional link from one of the transmedia content data objects to another of the transmedia content data objects; generating a two-dimensional graph structure representing the ordered group of transmedia content data objects whereby each graph node corresponds to a transmedia content data object and each graph edge corresponds to an element of the linking data; and outputting the graph structure on a display screen.

Manipulation of non-linearly connected transmedia content data

The present invention relates to systems and methods for manipulating non-linearly connected transmedia content, in particular for creating, processing and managing non-linearly connected transmedia content. The disclosure includes content creation modes and version control systems for non-linearly connected transmedia content data, in which individual transmedia content data items are connected to either other via directional linking data.

A method is provided for rendering a representation of and interacting with transmedia content on an electronic device. Transmedia content data is received at the electronic device. The transmedia content data comprises: a plurality of transmedia content data items; linking data which define time-ordered content links between the plurality of transmedia content data items, whereby the plurality of transmedia content data items are arranged into linked transmedia content subsets comprising different groups of the transmedia content data items and different content links therebetween; a visualization model of the transmedia content data; and a hierarchical structure of the linked transmedia content subsets and clusters of linked transmedia content subsets. A representation of the transmedia content data is rendered at the electronic device by processing the visualization model of the transmedia content data and the hierarchical structure to map some or all of the transmedia content at a first level of the hierarchical structure onto the representation of the transmedia content.

Rendering and interacting with transmedia content data

A method of rendering content items on a display via an electronic device involves mapping linked content items to a three-dimensional object defined by layout data. The layout data is then transmitted to an electronic device for display.
