Abstract: A system and method for interfacing interactive systems with social networks and media playback devices is described. For example, a system for generating and interacting with media content is described. In one embodiment, the system includes an interactive system that displays media content, wherein the interactive system includes a first computer and sensors for recording a user's interaction with the displayed media content, and a kiosk that allows a user to share the interactive media content with social networks and media playback devices, wherein the interactive media content includes the media content and metadata representing the user's recorded interaction with the media content.

Abstract: A novel form of visualizing and viewing media in text, image, audio, and video format is introduced in which media with interconnected relationships benefit from visualizing and ranking techniques and systems. A method can include organizing media stored on a plurality of nodes, the media being contextually connected based on time, story, character, or other criteria derived automatically through metadata and/or analysis, or generated manually by content creators or users. The method can also include generating one or more images of the nodes based on at least one parameter related to a user. The image(s) of the nodes can illustrate connections between the nodes, and can be generated based on datasets selected by the user, a desired level of detail selected by the user, or a prioritized set of nodes most relevant to the user. The nodes can provide links to view and watch media in text, image, and video format, and can be augmented by social commentary, connection, sharing, and e-commerce.

Abstract: Various software services may benefit from enhancements to interactive services. For example, context aware interactive experiences over a network may benefit from a platform for their creation, distribution, and management. A method can include receiving an application descriptor at a user device from a server, wherein the application descriptor corresponds to an interactive application. The method can also include creating an application instance on an interactive experience processing system targeted to a platform's architecture and interactive capabilities based on the application descriptor. The method can further include responding to at least one action of a user of the interactive application via interactive multimedia rendered on the user device. The application instance can include an application core including at least one interaction node and at least one media node.
