Abstract

Video recording and analysis is an important tool for user experience researchers. This project aimed to learn more about how an interactive video annotation method might affect video analysis. Ink annotations on video were used as the annotation method, and an early prototype was demonstrated to professional user experience researchers. Feedback on the interactive video analysis method was positive. A new tool was designed and is being implemented that emphasized the insights gained from analysis of the initial research, including: collaborative timeline visualization, refined interaction with ink annotation tools, a refined general annotation toolset, and a toolset for reporting findings. Further lessons from implementation are noted, including: video manipulation, space limitations for tool navigation, and reporting tool development.
