Internet TV station

My idea was to create a platform to share and view tours of various places around the world made by the people that live there. Language would obviously be an issue for a global platform; so all text is automatically translated to the local language (according to the users preferences) and, the first click-able button on the home screen brings the user to the language select screen.
Language is something the content creators must take into consideration while making their videos; showing things visually and putting places into context is very important.
Video is not the only form of content (though that would make up a vast quantity of it) as users can submit panoramas and large images to be interacted with by zooming in and panning around.

To demonstrate my idea I made a simple app in inDesign that works on my Nexus 7 tablet. This is an offline image set so there are no interactive functions. On the live app on my tablet, most buttons work and there are some interactive features (such as a zoom and pan panorama at the end)
