Abstract
A method for increasing multimedia data accessibility is presented and more specifically increasing the interactivity with images shown on a display device. A series of images is displayed according to a user'"'"'s position relative to a display screen by displaying a first image, receiving information regarding a change in the user'"'"'s position relative to the display screen, and displaying a second image in response to the change in the user'"'"'s position. The series of images are packaged, compressed and transmitted in a manner that makes it feasible to simultaneously receive, display and interact with the series of images. The scale of a portion of the images is manipulated based on interaction therewith.

22. A method of transmitting a series of images to increase fidelity of transmission, said transmission method comprising:
-
compressing a selected first image from the series of images;
separately compressing each image from the series of images; and
progressively transmitting each compressed image from the series of images in a manner that first transmits the selected first compressed image and then transmits each image from the series of images such that the further each image is from the selected first compressed image the later it is transmitted. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
