1. A method for controlling a display of a video content player apparatus, the method comprising:
- playing video content on a content player apparatus;
receiving, during the playing, user input indicating an interest in an object appearing in a display of the content player apparatus;
identifying at least one of a three-dimensional model or a rendered image of the three-dimensional model from a computer memory, based on an identity of the object;
combining, during the playing, a rendered image of the three-dimensional model with video data of the video content, wherein the rendered image replaces an image of the object; and
changing a position, an orientation, a position relative to user viewpoint, or an orientation relative to user viewpoint, of the three-dimensional model in response to user input, whereby the rendered image of the three-dimensional model reveals a view of the object that is not included in the video content without the rendered image, wherein the three-dimensional model is selected from one of a prop for replacing a static object or a figure movable by an armature for replacing a character.

Abstract
Methods for digital content production and playback of an immersive stereographic video work provide or enhance interactivity of immersive entertainment using various different playback and production techniques. “Immersive stereographic” may refer to virtual reality, augmented reality, or both. The methods may be implemented using specialized equipment for immersive stereographic playback or production. Aspects of the methods may be encoded as instructions in a computer memory, executable by one or more processors of the equipment to perform the aspects.

-
playing video content on a content player apparatus; receiving, during the playing, user input indicating an interest in an object appearing in a display of the content player apparatus; identifying at least one of a three-dimensional model or a rendered image of the three-dimensional model from a computer memory, based on an identity of the object; combining, during the playing, a rendered image of the three-dimensional model with video data of the video content, wherein the rendered image replaces an image of the object; and changing a position, an orientation, a position relative to user viewpoint, or an orientation relative to user viewpoint, of the three-dimensional model in response to user input, whereby the rendered image of the three-dimensional model reveals a view of the object that is not included in the video content without the rendered image, wherein the three-dimensional model is selected from one of a prop for replacing a static object or a figure movable by an armature for replacing a character. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)

8. A video content player apparatus, comprising a processor operatively coupled to a memory, the memory holding program instructions, that when executed by the processor cause the apparatus to perform:
-
playing video content; receiving, during the playing, user input indicating an interest in an object appearing in a display of the content player apparatus; identifying at least one of a three-dimensional model or a rendered image of the three-dimensional model from a computer memory, based on an identity of the object; combining, during the playing, a rendered image of the three-dimensional model with video data of the video content, wherein the rendered image replaces an image of the object; and changing a position, an orientation, a position relative to user viewpoint, or an orientation relative to user viewpoint, of the three-dimensional model in response to user input, whereby the rendered image of the three-dimensional model reveals a view of the object that is not included in the video content without the rendered image, wherein the three-dimensional model is selected from one of a prop for replacing a static object or a figure movable by an armature for replacing a character. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A video content player apparatus comprising:
-
means for playing video content on a content player apparatus; means for receiving, during the playing, user input indicating an interest in an object appearing in a display of the content player apparatus; means for identifying at least one of a three-dimensional model or a rendered image of the three-dimensional model from a computer memory, based on an identity of the object; means for combining, during the playing, a rendered image of the three-dimensional model with video data of the video content, wherein the rendered image replaces an image of the object; and means for changing a position, an orientation, a position relative to user viewpoint, or an orientation relative to user viewpoint, of the three-dimensional model in response to user input, whereby the rendered image of the three-dimensional model reveals a view of the object that is not included in the video content without the rendered image, wherein the three-dimensional model is selected from one of a prop for replacing a static object or a figure movable by an armature for replacing a character. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
