Exploring User Interaction with Digital Videos

This poster presents initial results from a study that explores user interaction with digital videos. While much of the interface research to date examines the types of surrogates that one needs to locate a video and to determine its pertinence, our work takes place at the level of the video and the tools that enable access to specific parts of its content. In this study, 16 participants performed three types of tasks using ePresence, a webcasting system that handles both live and stored video. Several data collection mechanisms were used: questionnaires, screen capture and interviews, to assess the interaction holistically. The analysis is currently in progress, although preliminary results show differences in interface tool use and by task type.
