Abstract

A paper-based interface for browsing video is proposed. A paper document shows key frames selected from a video, a transcript for the parallel audio track, and bar codes that, when scanned, invoke a multimedia player. The paper document provides a stand-alone representation for a video recording that lets a user both understand the content of the file and replay only selected parts of the multimedia that are necessary to gain a better understanding. This approach applies the two-dimensional display characteristics of a newspaper to multimedia retrieval. By so doing, the user's browsing and search efficiency is greatly improved. This poster describes an implementation of the video paper system using a pocket PC with a bar code reader as the remote control device and an archive of video recordings on the pocket PC or an external server.
