Asterpix--Convert videos from across the web into interactive videos
What Company Is Offering:
Asterpix is the place to view and create interactive video:
Convert videos from across the web into interactive videos,
Share your interactive videos on Asterpix, blogs, social network profile pages or other websites.
How It Works:
Asterpix enables users to easily create hypervideos and share them through websites, blogs and email. Analogous to hypertext, hypervideo provides an interactive experience by allowing viewers to select objects of interest to get more information or navigate the video.
Hypervideo is comparable to hypertext in some respects. Hypertext makes text an interactive experience, allowing you to create and click on “hot” links to navigate a document. Hypertext has changed the way we navigate documents. For example, when we open a simple text document such as a printed book, we often look at the table of contents first and then turn to the page of interest. When we open a hypertext document, the table of contents typically comprises links to the appropriate portions of the document. Simply clicking on these links takes us to the relevant sections and subsections. Hypertext documents contain links to other hypertext documents allowing the reader to navigate large quantities of information quickly to gather what is of interest at that moment.
