Abstract

Small screen sizes and limited interaction possibilities appear to be the main challenges when developing video browsing interfaces for mobile devices, such as smartphones and PDAs. In this demo, we present several pen-based designs for interactive video browsing on a PDA. Each implementation enables users to skim a video along the timeline at different speeds and granularity levels. Using the whole touch-sensitive screen as input area, different pen movements are mapped to different browsing behaviors, offering more functionality and creating a better user experience.
