ABSTRACT
In traditional video, the user is locked to the angle where the camera was pointing to during the capture of the video. With 360° video recording, there are no longer these boundaries, and 360° video capturing devices are becoming more common and affordable to the general public. Hypervideo stretches boundaries even further, allowing to explore the video and to navigate to related information. In this paper, we describe an approach to the design and development of an immersive and interactive interface for the visualization and navigation of 360° hypervideos over the internet. Such videos allow users to pan around to view the contents in different angles and effectively access related information through the hyperlinks. Challenges for presenting this type of hypervideo include: providing users with an appropriate interface capable to explore 360° contents, where the video should change perspective so that the users actually get the feeling of looking around; and providing the appropriate affordances to understand the hypervideo structure and to navigate it effectively in a 360° hypervideo space, even when link opportunities arise in places outside the current viewport.
