Abstract

We describe a new interaction method for video navigation on touch-enabled tablet devices, which is based on previous research results and uses context-sensitive swipe gestures. We evaluate our method in a user study with known-item-search tasks in direct comparison to seeker-bar navigation that is commonly used for navigation with video players on tablets and smartphones. Our evaluation results show that users prefer the swipe-based navigation feature over a seeker-bar in terms of convenience and that users can achieve better search performance with this new way of video navigation.
