VideoTraces is a digital video-based annotation medium for people to
represent and interact in new way. Through a simple computer interface with
a digital camera connected to the computer, users can create a personal
representation of an event, an object or an idea with their everyday
resources of looking, speaking and pointing. Users first capture a video
recording of themselves and/or objects of interest. This base video layer is
then annotated with voice and/or gesture (captured from mouse movements) to
form a "video trace". These video traces can then saved, viewed, exchanged,
and responded to by one's self and others.
*The entrance to the Department of Education and Professional Studies
in the Waterloo Bridge Wing is on Waterloo Road.
