Claim Text:
1. A method for communicating a sequence of selectively rotatable images depicting desired subject matter, the method comprising the steps of: implementing an image database in memory on an at least one computing device, the image database containing an at least one image collection comprising a plurality of view sets, the view sets each having a unique perspective point, the view sets each comprised of a sequence of multiple images comprised of single images taken at different steps in a movement sequence; assigning a view index to each view set in the at least one image collection, each view index being unique as compared to all other view sets in the associated image collection; assigning a frame index to each image within each view set, each frame index being unique as compared to all other images in the associated view set; implementing a content module in memory on an at least one computing device, the content module configured for selectively accessing and displaying images stored in the image database; allowing an at least one user to access and interact with the images displayed by the content module using an at least one client device in selective communication with the content module; upon the user choosing to rotate the perspective point of the image being displayed, obtaining the view index corresponding to the newly selected perspective point and displaying the image associated with the current frame index located in the view set associated with the new view index; and upon the user choosing to display a different image in the view set, obtaining the frame index corresponding to the newly selected image to be displayed and displaying the image associated with the new frame index located in the view set associated with the current view index; whereby, the user is capable of dynamically and selectively choosing the common perspective point at which to view the sequentially formatted subject matter at any point in the sequence of images, thereby providing a 360 degree, selectively rotatable view of the subject matter.
