Abstract

A browsing system for multimedia uses a polyhedron to display multiple multimedia sources simultaneously. A user or software can rotate the browse polyhedron to make visible faces of the polyhedron which are hidden and can rotate the polyhedron to change the orientation of visible faces. On each face, the system renders a different video stream from the multimedia data source based on the orientation.
