Methods and systems for presenting direction-specific media assets
Methods and systems are described herein for a media guidance application that coordinates the display of direction-specific media assets on a display device associated with a particular direction. For example, the media guidance application may receive data (e.g., stored when an image or video was created) that indicates a direction a content capture device was facing when the image or video was captured. Based on that data, the media guidance application may select a particular display device (e.g., a computer, tablet, television, etc.) that corresponds to the direction (e.g., from the point of view of a user) on which to present the media asset.
1. A method comprising:
receiving capture of a first image at a first location in the real world by a first capture device, wherein the image is captured when the first capture device is facing a first direction;
receiving capture of a second image at the first location by a second capture device that is a separate device from the first capture device, wherein the image is captured when the second capture device is facing a second direction that is distinct from the first direction;
determining a time when the first image at the first location and the second image at the first location were captured; and
in response to determining that the first direction and the second direction both correspond to the same first location and both the first image and the second image correspond to a particular time:
simultaneously generating for display, a first media asset associated with the first direction on the first capture device and distinct from first image and a second media asset associated with the second direction on the second capture device and distinct from the second image, wherein the first capture device is located in the same direction as the first direction at the time of the display and the second capture device is located in the same direction as the second direction at the time of the display and the first media asset and the second media asset are associated with the particular time.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a plurality of media assets that are associated with the first and second direction to replicate the first location; and
providing the media assets for user selection.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
use an accelerometer to obtain directional information; and
using the obtained directional information to differentiate between the first direction and the second direction.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining that the first device is changing a facing direction; and
in response to the detection, modifying the generated display on the first capture device by selecting media assets that correspond to the changed direction.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, generating a sound on the first media capture device, wherein the sound corresponds to a sound that is generated at the first location in a real-life setting.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, recommending a product on the first capture device that may be sold in a real-life setting at the first location.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein, the first media asset is captured by the first device on a same day as the first image at the first location.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, determining whether the first capture device is aimed at a higher or lower direction within the first direction.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising, in response to determining that the first capture device is aimed at the higher direction, within the first direction, selecting a media asset that corresponds to the higher direction.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first image and the second image are captured by separate users associated with separate first and second capture devices.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, recording additional data associated with the capture of first image at the first location, wherein the additional data includes circumstances surrounding the capture of the first image at the first location.
12. A system comprising:
control circuitry configure to:
receive capture of a first image at a first location in the real world by a first capture device, wherein the image is captured when the first capture device is facing a first direction;
receive capture of a second image at the first location by a second capture device that is a separate device from the first capture device, wherein the image is captured when the second capture device is facing a second direction that is distinct from the first direction;
determine a time when the first image at the first location and the second image at the first location were captured; and
in response to determining that the first direction and the second direction both correspond to the same first location and both the first image and the second image correspond to a particular time:
simultaneously generate for display, a first media asset associated with the first direction on the first capture device and distinct from first image and a second media asset associated with the second direction on the second capture device and distinct from the second image, wherein the first capture device is located in the same direction as the first direction at the time of the display and the second capture device is located in the same direction as the second direction at the time of the display and the first media asset and the second media asset are associated with the particular time.
13. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to:
determine a plurality of media assets that are associated with the first and second direction to replicate the first location; and
provide the media assets for user selection.
14. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to:
use an accelerometer to obtain directional information; and
use the obtained directional information to differentiate between the first direction and the second direction.
15. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to:
determine that the first device is changing a facing direction; and
in response to the detection, modify the generated display on the first capture device by selecting media assets that correspond to the changed direction.
16. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to generate a sound on the first media capture device, wherein the sound corresponds to a sound that is generated at the first location in a real-life setting.
17. The system of claim 12 , further comprising, the control circuitry configured to recommend a product on the first capture device that may be sold in a real-life setting at the first location.
18. The system of claim 12 , wherein, the first media asset is captured by the first device on a same day as the first image at the first location.
19. The system of claim 12 , wherein, the first media asset is selected by the control circuitry based on a season in which the first image was captured by the first device.
20. The system of claim 12 , further comprising:
determining whether the first capture device is aimed at a higher or lower direction within the first direction; and
in response to determining that the first capture device is aimed at the higher direction, within the first direction, select a media asset that corresponds to the higher direction.
