Multi-touch based video selection with an audio emotional curve
Grégoire Lefebvre · 2012
This article describes a new multi-touch based method for selecting video parts on mobile devices. Basically, a video player displays only the current image and a timeline to interact with the entire video content. Rewinding and forwarding to a specific scene are thus little practicable for selecting the best video moments. Our proposal is the addition of an informative transparency overlay showing the salient information about a soccer game and allowing new multi-touch interactions. This audio emotional curve tends to describe crowd reactions and speaker excitements revealing the best soccer events. Our experiment shows that multi-touch selections based on this curve improve efficiency and fun.
