Abstract
A method receives a video sequence including a visually perceptible item and selectively causes a display device to present the video sequence at any given time in one of a plurality of modes, including a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the display device presents the video sequence with a tag, which comprises information pertaining to the visually perceptible item in the video sequence. In the second mode, the display device presents the video sequence without the tag. The method receives from an input device a signal that indicates whether to present the video sequence in the first mode or the second mode, wherein causing the display device to present the video sequence in the first mode is performed in response to receiving from the input device the signal that indicates that the video sequence should be presented in the first mode.
