CREW

Crew was demonstrated at the All Hands Meeting held in Edinburgh, September 2008.

This was a live demonstration but some screen shots are recorded here (click on any thumbnail to see a full screenshot).

1: Initial view showing list of events recorded in this environment.

2. After selecting the Research Methods Festival event the next screen shows the sessions available including headings/times/dates etc.

3. After selecting a particular session we can see the list of talks that occurred during that session.

4. Specifying a particular talk then gives information regarding that talk including the abstract, and of course a link to the video recording.

5. Screenshots of playing back the talk including multiple video streams and importantly a timelime for annotation events and slide changes etc.

Shown is the timeline that automatically creates events on major changes from the pc screen, as well as user inputted annotation recorded on a simple web form at the time of the recording.

6. Of course you can search for a speaker or event across all items

7. and find out where the event is/will be or was.

Important point is that all the data including the annotation is as automated as possible.

Aside: as a point of interest these screen-shots were never used as the live demonstration worked fine – as they all should Prior to the demonstration there was a keynote speaker, and using the conference wi-fi I ran through the demo to myself and captured a few key points – which explains the resolution as it was on my small laptop; the wifi also explains the buffering – but was very usable.
