Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products for cube graphical user interfaces are disclosed. A cube may be a two dimensional representation of a three dimensional object. The cube may contain a file or application on each face of the cube. The cube may be rotated such that a user may view the desired cube face. Each cube face may contain a single-angle video. The single-angle videos may be synchronized. A user may rotate the cube to view videos of an object or event from different angles.

Claims (57)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating, by a computer-based system for multi-angle videos, a multi-angle video object (“MAV”);

displaying, by the computer-based system, a first video on a first face of the MAV, wherein the first video comprises a first angle of an object;

displaying, by the computer-based system, a second video on a second face of the MAV, wherein the second video comprises a second angle of the object; and

simultaneously playing, by the computer-based system, the first video on the first face and the second video on the second face;

wherein the MAV is rotatable between the first face and the second face.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising synchronizing, by the computer-based system, the first video and the second video.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAV comprises a cube.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

displaying, by the computer-based system, a third video on a third face of the MAV;

displaying, by the computer-based system, a fourth video on a fourth face of the MAV;

displaying, by the computer-based system, a fifth video on a fifth face of the MAV; and

displaying, by the computer-based system, a sixth video on a sixth face of the MAV.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the third video comprises a third angle of the object, and wherein the fourth video comprises a fourth angle of the object.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising rotating, by the computer-based system, the MAV from the first face to the second face.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transmitting, by the computer-based system, the MAV to a web client.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generating the MAV comprises receiving a plurality of videos, wherein the MAV comprises a face for each video in the plurality of videos.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first face of the MAV comprises a first side, wherein the first side is not connected to any other faces of the MAV.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting, by the computer-based system, a brightness of the first video to be consistent with a brightness of the second video.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising desynchronizing, by the computer-based system, the first video and the second video.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising time-shifting, by the computer-based system, the first video.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the MAV comprises a point-of-view perspective.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising partially rotating, by the computer-based system, the MAV such that the first video and the second video may be viewed simultaneously.

15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising manipulating the MAV with a smartphone.

16. A system, comprising:

a multi-angle video processor,

a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor,

the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

generating, by the processor, a multi-angle video object (“MAV”);

displaying, by the processor, a first video on a first face of the MAV, wherein the first video comprises a first angle of an object;

displaying, by the processor, a second video on a second face of the MAV, wherein the second video comprises a second angle of the object; and

simultaneously playing, by the processor, the first video on the first face and the second video on the second face;

wherein the MAV is rotatable between the first face and the second face.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise synchronizing, by the processor, the first video and the second video.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the MAV comprises a cube.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the operations further comprise:

displaying, by the processor, a third video on a third face of the MAV;

displaying, by the processor, a fourth video on a fourth face of the MAV;

displaying, by the processor, a fifth video on a fifth face of the MAV; and

displaying, by the processor, a sixth video on a sixth face of the MAV.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise rotating, by the processor, the MAV from the first face to the second face.

21. The system of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise manipulating the MAV with a smartphone.

22. An article of manufacture including a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a computer-based system for multi-angle videos, cause the computer-based system to perform operations comprising:

generating, by the computer-based system, a multi-angle video object (“MAV”);

displaying, by the computer-based system, a first video on a first face of the MAV, wherein the first video comprises a first angle of an object;

displaying, by the computer-based system, a second video on a second face of the MAV, wherein the second video comprises a second angle of the object; and

simultaneously playing, by the computer-based system, the first video on the first face and the second video on the second face;

wherein the MAV is rotatable between the first face and the second face.

23. The article of manufacture of claim 22 , wherein the operations further comprise synchronizing, by the processor, the first video and the second video.

24. The article of manufacture of claim 22 , wherein the MAV comprises a cube.

25. The article of manufacture of claim 24 , wherein the operations further comprise:

displaying, by the processor, a third video on a third face of the MAV;

displaying, by the processor, a fourth video on a fourth face of the MAV;

displaying, by the processor, a fifth video on a fifth face of the MAV; and

displaying, by the processor, a sixth video on a sixth face of the MAV.

26. The article of manufacture of claim 22 , wherein the operations further comprise rotating, by the processor, the MAV from the first face to the second face.

27. The article of manufacture of claim 22 , wherein the operations further comprise manipulating the MAV with a smartphone.
