Abstract

We conducted a user study with 4 video clips and 37 viewing sessions on how users interact with a web-based zoomable video system, where users can zoom and pan within the video to view selected regions-of-interest with more detail. The study shows that frequency of interaction is very high and the period during which users watch the video without interacting is comparable to the period of interaction. Users spend most of their time viewing a magnified version of the video. We also observe that their behavior is not easily predictable. Users, however, tend to be interested in common regions of the video.
