browsing within time-driven multimedia documents
We present the software design and the interfaces of an interactive browser for time-driven multimedia objects. Time-driven multimedia objects may have as their main resource voice or animation sequences. Several important application environments such as training systems, home entertainment systems, do-it-yourself manuals may involve time-driven multimedia objects and they may be implemented with such browsing interfaces. Such applications may be implemented using easy to replicate optical disks such as CD-ROMs, and distributed to a large user community.
