Publication number: 20240152214Abstract: Methods and systems are described for improved techniques for consuming and interacting with media content. Specifically, a media guidance application may present a holographic structure using a holographic interface. Moreover, the media guidance application may monitor the user and/or area about the holographic interface for user interactions that may cause the media guidance application to alter the holographic structure based on a user interaction. The media guidance application may also after altering the holographic structure, generate for display a media asset associated with the holographic structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Walter R. Klappert, Jason W. Conness, Todd Mariani

Publication number: 20230267672Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for improved techniques for consuming and interacting with media content. Specifically, the media guidance application may generate holographic animations that move from a holographic structure from which a user has selected a media asset and direct the user to a display device capable of presenting the media asset. For example, in response to a user selecting a baseball movie from a holographic bookcase, the media guidance application may generate for display a holographic baseball that is “thrown” from the bookcase to a television that will present the baseball movie.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2023Publication date: August 24, 2023Inventors: Jason M. Conness, Todd Mariani
