Cross-Media Technologies and Applications - Future Directions for Personal Information Management

Webinar given at icity Lab Talks - The Digital Value Chain

In this talk, I will first provide an overview of the lab’s research on a general data-driven approach for cross-media information system and architectures based on the resource-selector-link (RSL) hypermedia metamodel. We will then have a look at several cross-media applications for personal information management and next-generation presentation solutions (MindXpres). Finally, I will outline the lab’s most recent research on tangible interaction and dynamic data physicalisation.

13. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.be June 9, 2022 What is Wrong with Slideware? ▪ Simulation of physical slides ▪ limited space due to the slide concept ▪ linear navigation from slide to slide ▪ difficult to reuse content and embed rich media types ▪ MindXpres addresses these issues ▪ unlimited canvas with zoomable user interface ▪ non-linear navigation and associative linking ▪ content-based approach with automatic visualisation
14. Beat Signer - Department of Computer Science - bsigner@vub.be June 9, 2022 MindXpres Presentation Platform ▪ Extensible prototyping platform for novel presen- tation concepts ▪ content-based approach - separation of content and presen- tation (automatic visualisation) ▪ cross-media content reuse ▪ non-linear navigation via zoomable user interface ▪ connectivity and interactivity ▪ Rich-media plug-ins ▪ e.g. source code or interactive data visualisation
