Abstract

This paper addresses a new type of video sharing platform-VideoFarm. In addition to just playing user uploaded video clips, the VideoFarm also displays the associated information of currently playing video contents. The associated information includes the general description of the video clip, a dynamic electronic map which shows the location of the current video contents. The location associated information, such as local stores, restaurants, lodging, and near by tour attractions are provided and displayed in parallel with the playing video clip. Through the URLs of the associated information, a viewer may collect plenty of tour information, when (s)he is enjoying an interesting video clip. A prototype of VideoFarm has been implemented at http://140.113.216.55/videomap for public trial, evaluation, comments, and suggestions.
