Abstract

Systems and methods for creating dynamic, real-time visual representations of multimedia content. A temporal metadata visualization module receives a plurality of temporal metadata tags associated with a time code reference, representing a plurality of attributes of the multimedia content at the particular time. During playback, the temporal metadata virtualization module applies a set of display preferences and creates a visual representation of attributes identified by the temporal metadatatags at a particular time code reference. The visual representation changes based on the temporal metadata tags of a point within playback of the multimedia content, enhancing a user's experience and engagement with the multimedia content.

Claims

1. A method of visualizing metadata of multimedia content, comprising: a temporal metadata visualization module receiving a plurality of temporal metadata tags of a multimedia content, the pluralityof temporal metadata tags identifying one or more content attributes of the multimedia content; and displaying a visual representation of the one or more attributes associated with the plurality of temporal metadata tags on a display of a user device, wherein displaying occurs via a multimedia application running on the user device; wherein the visual representation changes dynamically to visually represent the one or more attributes associated with a current portion of the multimedia content being displayed, wherein the one or more attributes associated with a current portion of the multimedia content is determined basedon the plurality of temporal metadata tags associated with a time code reference corresponding to the current portion of the multimedia content. 15. A system for visually representing metadata of multimedia content, comprising: a multimedia content having a plurality of temporal metadata tags; a user device comprising a display and a multimedia application running on the user device, the multimedia application configured to playback the multimedia content; and a temporal metadata visualization module configured to receive a set of display preferences, create a visual representation of the plurality of temporal metadata tags according to the set of display preferences, and to display the visual representation on the display of the user device via the multimedia application; wherein the visual representation changes dynamically based on a current moment within the multimedia content, wherein the plurality of temporal metadata tags associated with a time code reference of the multimedia content changes.
