MosaicUI: Interactive media navigation using grid-based video
conference paper
Intuitively navigating through a large number of video sources can be a difficult task. The problem of locating a video asset of interest, whilst keeping an overview of all the available content arises in video search and video dashboard application domains, utilizing the new possibilities provided by recent advances in second screen devices and connected TVs. This paper presents initial results of an attempt to solve this problem by creating realtime mosaic-like video streams from a large number of independent video sources. The developed framework, called MosaicUI, is the result of cooperation between the European FP7 project FascinatE and the Dutch Service Innovation & ICT project Metadata Extraction Services. Using the combination of an intuitive user interface with a media processing and presentation platform for segmented video, a new method for user interaction with multiple video sources is achieved. In this paper, the MosaicUI framework is described and three possible use cases are discussed that demonstrate the real world applicability of the framework, both within the consumer market as well as for professional applications. A proof-of-concept of the framework is available for demonstration.
