Abstract:
1. A method comprising: responsive to a request transmitted from a computer device to one or more server devices communicatively connected to the computer device, receiving by the computer device a video file, wherein the video file comprises video frames of compressed video-format data generated from a sequence of still images of a three-dimensional (3D) object as viewed from each of a multiplicity of perspectives along one or more spatial trajectories about the 3D object, the multiplicity of perspectives corresponding at least to different 3D angular orientations about the 3D object; displaying by the computer device an image of the 3D object in a display window on a display device of the computer device; and responsive to an interactive cursor of a user interface of the computer device moving on one or more trajectories in the display window while the interactive cursor is virtually attached to the image of the 3D object, video processing by the computer device one or more subsets of the video frames, each subset corresponding to a respective one of the multiplicity of perspectives along the one or more spatial trajectories about the 3D object, in order to cause animated 3D angular movement of the image of the 3D object to be displayed in the display window, the animated 3D angular movement corresponding to angular movement of the 3D object about at least one axis that passes through the 3D object.
