Spatio-temporal video annotation in Compendium

We are now working on embedding video into Compendium, to enable not only the usual temporal annotation of video, but adding a spatial dimension so that choreography researchers/practitioners/students can locate annotations in specific locations, for specific time-windows.

Moreover, annotations in Compendium are not simply free-text 'stickies', but hypertext nodes, embedded in an arbitrary number of other views and conversations, possibly linked to whole new networks, possibly with their own annotated movies.

This second example shows two videos running, connected by nodes...

We've just published a series of podcasts illustrating the application of the video-enabled version of Compendium v2.0, which has completed alpha testing, and which we hope to release a beta within a couple of months.

The academic context for this work is set out in a recent article:
