Abstract
An online system displays relevant products along with a video watched by a user in a synchronized manner, which allows the user to explore relevant content (e.g., products recommended to the user) while the user is watching the video. The online system receives a video including a sequence of video frames to be displayed to the user, and the video may be associated with a specific theme, e.g., a soccer game, and one or more video frames may include points of interest (referred as 'Q points'). The online system detects or receives Q points associated with corresponding video frames, where a Q point in a video frame identifies an object of interest in the video frame. The online system also correlates user profile information of the user with the detected points to select relevant products tailored to the user.
