Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses for visual storytelling on a mobile media-consumption device are described. These techniques and apparatuses enable a user to view events central to the story while also viewing context for the story. By so doing, a user may enjoy the story as the story's author intended without sacrificing a user's ability to engage with the story's context.
