By John Townley iMove Inc. Monday released a software package that can be used to convert standard digital video into interactive video. Content developers can add audio, text, and website hotspots inside the video. End users can become active participants in the story as they control movement, select different camera views and interact with hotspots. Besides switching between different views of the same event, users can stop, rewind and zoom into the video image. Hotspots can include embedded audio, text and website links.
Interactive video is a key storytelling component in the next generation of news presentation.
Full streaming support will be available in first quarter, 2001. Copyright 2001 INT Media Group, Incorporated All Rights Reserved.
