Abstract |
Tutorial videos are widely available to help people use
software. These videos, however, are viewed by users as captured and offer
little direct interaction between users and software. This paper presents a
video navigation method that allows users to interact with software tutorial
video as if they were using the software. To make the tutorial video
responsive, our method records the user interaction events like mouse click
and drag during capturing the video. Our method then analyzes, selects, and
visualizes these user interaction events at the event locations. When a user
directly interacts with an event visualization, our method automatically
navigates to the proper video frame to provide the visual feedback as if the
software were responding to the user input. Thus, our method provides the
experience of interacting with the software through directly manipulating
the tutorial video. Our study shows our method can better help users follow
tutorial videos to complete tasks than the baseline timeline interface. |
