Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatuses for rapidly tagging and recalling (via direct pointing) metadata from moving or still images are described herein. In one embodiment, data having full descriptions and hyperlinks are tagged to specific objects in moving images and the invisible hyperlinks move dynamically to continually track the associated object. In one embodiment, a pointing device can be used to point to objects in the scene, whether moving or stationary, and by appropriate action such as clicking or activating a button, be able to substantially immediately recall part or all of the metadata content that pertains to the object. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
