Information at the touch of a button.   That’s what the Internet gives you. Going from Web site to home page to in-depth information has been possible due to the use of hypertext, which indicates links to related screens. With the onslaught of videos and graphics on the Internet, hypervideo was the natural next step.  Now, IBM Research has a new technology that takes the connection even further.

HotVideo Makes the Connection
Hot Video is an innovative implementation of hypervideo.  Created by IBM’s China Research Laboratory in Beijing, it extends the concept of hyper links from text and images to any dynamic object within a video.  With HotVideo, sections of a digital video can be linked to various locations, such as home pages, other video clips, audio clips, images, text or executables.  HotVideo transforms the two-dimensional space of ordinary videos into true multimedia information space.  Find out how it works.
