Systems and methods for generating and broadcasting digital trails of visual media

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for generating and broadcasting digital trails of visual media may include (i) receiving user input initiating a digital trail, the user input including a selection of a trail mode from a list of candidate modes, (ii) creating a digital trail container configured to contain a series of thematically related visual media works generated by users invited to contribute to the digital trail, (iii) providing, to one or more users, a creation prompt that corresponds to the trail mode, (iv) adding, to the digital trail container, at least one visual media work received in response to providing the creation prompt, and (v) displaying the resulting digital trail by sequentially presenting each visual media work added to the digital trail container in the order added. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
