Abstract

An apparatus for providing a sequence of video frames includes a video frame generator adapted to provide the video frames on the basis of the scene model. The video frame generator is adapted to identify within the scene model a scene model object having a predetermined object name or a predetermined object property, and to generate the sequence of video frames such that user-provided content is displayed on a surface of the identified scene model object or as a replacement for the identified scene model object.An apparatus for creating a menu structure of a video medium includes an apparatus for providing a sequence of video frames. The apparatus is adapted to generate the sequence of video frames being part of the menu structure on the basis of a scene model, on the basis of additional information, and on the basis of a menu structure-related characteristic.
