Description
The hypervideo system MovieGoer is a collaborative learning tool that bases on the hypertext concept. The complexity of hypermedia, the temporary visibility of hypervideo hyperlinks as well as the collaborative character of the tool results in problems like information overload and cognitive overhead. The challenge of the project was to create an interface that minimizes these problems. Methods of information visualization and current innovative interaction design concepts are used to develop a visual and interactive user interface system.
