Abstract

The invention is a method of embedding objects and information in a transparent layer or medium situated seamlessly on the top of media like a movie or a still image. The media contains targeted visual element viewed or edited by users. The selectable region for embedding objects and information in the transparent layer or medium is defined by the location of the visual element in the movie or still image and by the movie elapsed time in case of playing a video media content. The embedded objects and information proper to the targeted visual element can be recalled and re-displayed on electronic and digital devices upon user actions such as but not limited to a click, tap or a mouse-over on the transparent layer in a specific area that is overlapping or surrounding the targeted visual element contained in the media content.
