Abstract

With rapid improvements in available bandwidth and processing power of smart phones, the presentation of interactive non-linear video became possible. Web players for these form of video already exist, they usually have a video area and one or more annotation areas. Most of them can not be used for mobile phones because of their space consuming representation. This work presents a player to display interactive nonlinear videos on Android smart phones. The small display size and the possibility to switch between portrait and landscape mode have been taken into account. The player also provides functions to manage a library of downloaded interactive videos for off line use as well as bookmarks.
