Advene

Abstract

Active reading and hypermedia usage are an integral part of scholar daily practices, but the full exploitation of their potentialities still lies far ahead. In the search for new methods and tools, we focus in this article on the use of audiovisual material in a scholar context. One of the results of active reading applied to audiovisual material can be hypervideos, that we define as views on audiovisual documents associated with an annotation structure. The notion of hypervideo is useful to analyse existing video-based hypermedia systems as well as building new systems. The Advene project proposes an implementation of hypervideos through a framework that allows experimentations of new visualisation and interaction modalities for enriched videos.

Let's replay the political debate: Hypervideo technology for visual sensemaking of televised election debates

“…On one hand, hypervideo has been evolving after it was first introduced in 1996 with the design of HyperCafe (Sawhney, Balcom, & Smith, 1996). Since then, the hypervideo tradition in the hypertext research community has grown with innovative applications such as Advene, a tool for supporting active reading with hypervideo (Aubert & Prié, 2005). Systems for deploying hypervideo on the web nowadays, such as Popcorn.js and the HTML5 video tag allow deploying sophisticated video annotations via any web browser.…”

Hypervideos and Interactive Multimedia Presentations

“…-Advene: Advene [Aubert and Prié 2005;Aubert et al 2012] is a tool for active reading in videos and the generation of hypervideos based on rules. "One of the results of active reading applied to audiovisual material can be hypervideos, that we define as views on audiovisual documents associated with an annotation structure" [Aubert and Prié 2005]. One linear video is used as a main medium; annotations are rendered to different views.…”
