Abstract

A video media viewport/window may be progressively scaled and/or repositioned based on sequential navigational commands received via an input device. A process may include presenting video media within a viewing window that substantially spans an area of the display, and receiving, during playback of the video media, a plurality of sequential user input commands via an input device that indicate a navigational command in a first direction. In response to receiving the sequential user input commands, the system may progressively scale the viewing window to increasingly smaller size viewing windows, position the smaller size viewing windows a distance from a center of the display relative to the direction of the received navigational commands, and present one or more interactive elements outside of the smaller size viewing windows.
