Abstract

Described herein is a user interface for reviewing time-correlated multimedia content. The user interface has three display regions, configured to display three different content sequences of different types, all relating to a specific event. The content sequences are time-correlated to each other. However, a user can independently scroll through individual content sequences. When the user selects a particular place in one content sequence, however, the other content sequences are updated to show corresponding places. The user can begin playback of the multimedia content, during which all of the content sequences are rendered in time with each other.
