Abstract: A computing device plays at least one first video content segment. The video content segment may be a portion of an interactive video content sequence including multiple segments that may each be selected during play of one or more of the other segments. The computing device determines one or more second video content segments that are associated with the first video content segment. Such determination may be made by analyzing information describing an interactive video content sequence of which the video content segment is a part. The computing device attempts to load one or more second video content segments. In this way, play of the video content segments may reduce and/or avoid delays in changing the video content being played.
Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for displaying an interactive video. Displaying an interactive video may include at least rendering and playing a base video having at least one selector for an outcome video, receiving input selecting at least one selector, and transitioning to the outcome video while playing both the base video and the outcome video on particular portions of a display area. Displaying an interactive video may also include displaying a selector object associated with an interactive video, receiving user input indicating a user interaction with at least one surface of the selector object and rendering and playing a video segment responsive to the user interaction with the at least one surface of the selector object.
