| Abstract | |
Researchers have been investigating methods and techniques to allow people to annotate videos ubiquitously. Annotations can be made using voice, digital ink or some other media that can be captured while a person watches a video. These annotations can be shared with other people, who can be watching a video on the same time or at a different one. Also, these annotations can be made by many people collaboratively. The Watch-and-Comment (WaC) paradigm aims at capturing multimodal annotations in an ubiquitous way, while users watch and comment some video. As a result, an interactive digital video is generated combining the original content and the annotations. The work reported on this thesis explores concepts such as ubiquitous computing, social networks, peer-to-peer networks and interactive digital TV, to propose an architectural context-aware model to the applications defined by WaC paradigm. The model proposes the integration of a new service to the paradigm, supporting applications on the annotation process by offering capture alternatives and using context information from user, video and annotations. Also, the model provides a study in collaborative annotation process. Another contribution of this thesis is the prototypes built to evaluate and upgrade the proposed model. The prototypes are extensions from WaCTool, considering the use of social networks and alternatives to annotate in videos (AU) | |
