A method for presenting an interactive video to a user. The method includes providing an application layer including at least one first user interface (UI) element, providing a video player layer including at least one second UI element, the video player layer being integrated in the application layer and configured to present the interactive video to the user, receiving a first user interaction associated with the at least one first UI element, and dynamically modifying the interactive video and/or the at least one second UI element included in the video player layer based on the first user interaction.

Video player integration within websites

To provide for seamless audio, video, and contextual transitions in interactive media presentations, endpoints within the presentation are defined. The endpoints are disposed at different times within the presentation and form respective links between points in segments in the presentation. While the presentation is being played, a user interaction is received and an appropriate endpoint is selected based on the interaction. When the selected endpoint is reached, the presentation is seamlessly transitioned to the point in the segment linked to by the endpoint.

Systems and methods for seamless audio and video endpoint transitions

Systems and methods generating interactive videos on an automated platform are provided herein. The example methods can include receiving data associated with at least one physical item and receiving video content comprising a visual presentation of the physical item. The method can include receiving a selection of a predetermined template, in which the template comprising a plurality of modules organized in a tree structure. The method can further include organizing the video content into the predetermined template to form organized video content, and embedding an object in a portion of the organized video content to form an interactive video, in which the object is based on the received data and is configured to enable at least one of: (i) user interaction with the physical item; or (ii) a link to a webpage associated with the physical item.

Automated platform for generating interactive videos

Real-time video manipulation techniques include performing shader-based graphical operations on user interface elements based on the state of an interactive video and the properties associated with the user interface elements at the state. The user interface elements are rendered into frames of the interactive video, and transparent interactive elements are layered over the user interface elements. In another technique, video frames in an interactive video include viewable and non-viewable regions. While the video is playing, the viewable regions are modified based on information in the non-viewable regions, thereby generating modified versions of the video frames.

Shader-based dynamic video manipulation

Systems and methods for nonlinear media playback using a linear media player are described. In one implementation, a video tree representing a branching video presentation is provided, and a dynamic playlist is provided to a linear video player. A controller component interacts with the linear video player through a standard interface of the linear video player. During playback of a video content segment in the dynamic playlist by the linear video player, an indication of a user interaction with the playing video content segment is received by the controller component and from the linear video player via the standard interface, and the dynamic playlist is modified based on video content segments in a branch of the video tree. In another implementation, an uncompressed media file is selected and combined with a preceding and/or following media file. The combined files are compressed and a portion of the compressed file corresponding to the original media file is extracted.

Systems and methods for providing adaptive and responsive media are disclosed. In various implementations, a video for playback is received at a user device having a plurality of associated properties. Based on at least one of the properties, a first state of the video is configured, and the video is presented according to the first state. During playback of the video, a change in one of the device properties is detected, and the video is seamlessly transitioned to a second state based on the change.

Systems and methods for adaptive and responsive video

Methods and supporting systems collect data associated with interactive videos user engagement and dynamically adapt an interactive video application and/or interactive video content and detect anomalous behaviors based on the data.

Dynamic adaptation of interactive video players using behavioral analytics

Methods and systems for dynamic bookmarking in branched video are described. An application provides a video tree having a plurality of video segments, with each video segment including a predefined portion of one or more paths in the video tree, and each path being associated with a different video presentation. One of the paths in the video tree is traversed based on one or more decisions made by a user during playback of the video presentation associated with the path being traversed. A selection of a particular location in the path being traversed is received by the application, which stores a bookmark of the location for subsequent retrieval. The bookmark identifies a sequence of video segments in the video tree having been traversed to reach the location. The structure of the video tree is modified, and the bookmark is automatically updated, if necessary. At a later time, the application receives a selection of the stored bookmark and seeks to the bookmarked location. The application further restores the decisions made by the user during the previous playback of the presentation.

In a method and accompanying system for providing symbiotic media content, one or more advertising units comprising advertising video content are received at a user device. During the playback of primary video content to a user of the device, a plurality of user interface controls are displayed, with each control being associated with a respective advertising unit. On receiving an interaction with one of the controls, the primary video content is combined with the advertisement associated with the selected control, forming a symbiotic video. The symbiotic video is presented to the user and, on completion thereof, playback of the primary video content is continued.

Symbiotic interactive video

The presentation of an interactive video is dynamically modified based on a user profile. A first interactive video can be represented by a first video tree defining multiple branches in the first interactive video, with each branch having one or more video segments. Information is tracked including (i) the content of video segments played during presentation of the first interactive video and/or (ii) decisions of a user made during the presentation of the first interactive video. A user profile having measured attributes is generated based on the tracked information. The profile can then be used in dynamically modifying the presentation of a second interactive video.

Interactive video dynamic adaptation and user profiling

Systems and methods for dynamically weighting media segments and paths in a structured media presentation are disclosed. The structured media presentation can be, for example, a video tree representing a branching video presentation and defining multiple branches, each defining a path of one or more video content segments. Different portions of the video tree are associated with weights, and during playback of the branching video presentation, a video content segment is automatically selected for presentation based on one or more of the associated weights.
