ABSTRACT
Video allows to capture and present events and scenarios with great authenticity, realism and emotional impact, and it is becoming a pervasive medium; while increasingly users are enjoying and technology is supporting, capturing, sharing and accessing videos shot from their perspectives and experiences. 360° video allows to capture the image all around towards more immersive experiences, while hypervideo supports structuring and navigation of video and related information, and technology for capturing 360° video and its trajectory are becoming more accessible to the users, allowing to support more powerful video user experiences.
In this paper, we identify main challenges and describe the design and user evaluation of Sight Surfers, an interactive web application for the visualization and navigation of georeferenced 360° hypervideos, with the aim to potentiate ways to create and engage in novel forms of entertainment, culture and even art. Usability results were very encouraging and users enjoyed and would like to use Sight Surfers.
