Abstract
A system and method are set forth which combine an ability to view video with an ability to access computer programs. In certain embodiments, the media system provides access to movies, music and photos in a visually appealing three dimensional environment. Also, in certain environment, the media system presents a three dimensional navigation tool (such as a three dimensional wheel) on which multiple media files are presented. Also, in certain embodiments, a user may access both local and remote media files via the media system. Also, in certain embodiments, the media system provides on demand integration (such as Orb integration) while providing a consistent user interface such that access to local and remote content is seamless.
