1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a user input of a location and a user-determined amount of zoom into a displayed video content item;
outputting a zoomed rendering of the displayed video content item, the zoomed rendering including an image of an object;
searching within the zoomed rendering, using an image processing technique and the image of the object to identify the object within the zoomed rendering;
retrieving metadata corresponding to the identified object in response to the zoomed rendering;
searching, using the metadata, for derived content associated with the metadata and the identified object; and
outputting a contextual rendering, wherein the contextual rendering includes the zoomed displayed video content item and the derived content obtained using the metadata.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed that involve providing enhanced user experiences involving the consumption and management of content. For instance, embodiments provide user interface elements that present information regarding content that overcomes barriers or silos between application and platforms. Examples of such user interface elements include a three dimensional carousel, a preview stack, a favorites button, and a My Channel user interface. Also, embodiments may provide techniques for obtaining contextual content. Such techniques include, but are not limited to, zooming mechanisms and combining (or “mashup”) mechanisms.
