Using Synchronization of Interaction Techniques for Implementing a Hypervideo System
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2009, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Multimedia applications use special techniques to browse their own content such as hypertext and hypermedia. These two concepts provide for the users semantic alternative in accessing a multimedia document. A particular way of achieving the concept of hypermedia is hypervideo. The main difficulty for realize such a system is given the fact that video data has spatial feature as well as a temporal dimension that means it lasts in time. To implement a hypervideo system has to define many modules having specialized functions and that are going to communicate each other. Thus, the article presents a data structure adapted to manage the synchronization of user interaction events, according to the timeline of the video sequence and the objects in view, which received the event. Besides the particular data structure are also presented usual operations for its maintaining as well as to explore it in the hypervideo system context.
