Abstract

Systems and methods presenting digital images utilizing an infinite cylinder user interface that includes a plurality of modes of movement to variously display the digital images in an efficient and convenient manner. An image viewing system utilizing an infinite cylinder user interface includes a data store storing a plurality of images in a local visual dictionary, each of the plurality of images configured to convey a message to at least one additional user as a replacement for words; a network interface communicatively coupled to a network; a processor communicatively coupled to the data store and the network interface; and instructions executable by the processor, and in response to such execution causes the processor to: present a set of the plurality of images in an infinite cylinder user interface; and manipulate the infinite cylinder user interface in a plurality of movement modes based on user input.
