STEVE: Spatial-Temporal View Editor for Authoring Hypermedia Documents

Published:08 November 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

Interactive multimedia applications are available in many platforms such as smartphones, computers and digital TVs. In addition, the production of multimedia content has been growing increasingly and facilitated due to easier access to these devices. In this scenario, the creation of multimedia applications has gained importance. There are several commercial tools that allow building multimedia presentations using the timeline paradigm for users with no programming knowledge. However, these tools inherit the timeline authoring paradigm limitations. In order to facilitate hypermedia document authoring for users with no knowledge of program- ming and avoid the timeline paradigm limitations, this paper proposes an event-based hypermedia document model and a graphical editor, which is based on this model, for spatio-temporal view editing of a document. The proposed tool is called STEVE, Spatio-Temporal View Editor, which sup- ports the definition of viewer interactions. Besides, STEVE exports hypermedia applications to NCL and HTML5 documents to accomplish different execution platforms.
