HyperMovie

The goal of the HyperMovie project was to explore forms of interactive QuickTime movies as well as tools for creating them. Toward this end, the team (Mike Mills, Leo Degen, Dave Vronay, Mitch Yawitz and Stephanie Houde) developed methods of navigating, editing and attaching scripts to "hotspots" in video data.

A by-product of this work included the development of a Navigable Scenes (HyperScenes) toolkit for creating real-world 3D scenes and manipulable 3D objects in the form of QuickTime movies. Dan O'Sullivan who is now a professor at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications pioneered the work on Navigable Scenes while an intern in my group at Apple.
