Abstract
An interface is provided for navigating among views in a multi-camera environment. In addition to providing improved ease of use, such an interface also provides an overview of the scene represented by the captured video, by virtue of the positioning of various user interface elements representing different camera views. The navigation interface includes a number of selectable user interface elements, arranged in a fashion that approximates the physical positions of the cameras. Tapping or clicking on one of the elements causes a main window to display a current view from a corresponding camera or video feed. The navigation interface can be implemented, for example, in a live video capture system, or in a post-production system.
