Advanced user interfaces for dynamic video browsing

Abstract

In this demonstration we present three interface designs which enable users to visually browse video data by moving a slider thumb along the timeline. In such a case, scrolling granularity is usually limited because of the fixed length of the corresponding slider. In contrast, our interaction designs enable users to skim the data at different granularity levels by providing the possibility to continuously change the slider's scale, by using a nonlinear scale, and by enabling interactive manipulation of the scrolling speed, respectively.
