  • Publication number: 20230069452
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20150245081
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed herein for a media guidance application that alleviates the burden on a user of describing the events of a media asset to another user that begins watching the media asset after the media asset has begun. For example, a media guidance application may determine that a first device (e.g., a smartphone carried by a first user) has entered a location at which an already in progress media asset is being presented on a second device (e.g., a television viewed by a second user). In response, the media guidance application determines the events that have thus transpired in the media asset, and generates for display a summary of the events on the first device.
