James, Interesting...
Surely the point of Aston type graphics (in vision, non-interactive) is that they are for passive viewing, as a mouse+menu is 10000% better if you are online (rather than selecting from one-to-many broadcast streams)? On 09/07/07, James Ockenden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello Backstage, thinking about how wonderfully modular our web/information has become (eg google home page, blogger web site creation, mambo/opensource CMS web pages), is it conceivable video content goes likewise? i'm picturing a corporate or training video i make for someone. the core content is "timeless"* so i'd love whoever's watching it to be also getting a bloomberg style modular/ticker approach fed with up-to-date data while they're watching it. eg latest company news from XYZ inc tickering along the bottom and live market data spewing down the right column while the "why invest in XYZ" core content is churning along. Even if "timeless" is a six week shelf life, this would be impressive during an investor roadshow with no extra work required. of course that effect is easily done on a webpage/screensaver/dog toy right now... but a video player which is more like a browser, with a "Video ML" language relating to module positions and data source, whether its video or 15-min-delayed FTSE data... it assumes that every web or disc media player will be connected to the web. what do you think? i'm not much up on these things apart from what i read here, so if it's already done/unworkable/crazy/annoying then apologies! best James * although in ten years everyone's gonna be laughing at our waxed eyebrows and black suits... leggings and perms will be back by then i tell you - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
