There was a time
- not so very long ago - that video was a primarily passive
affair, trundling along on linear VCR's with little to
no interaction save for the pause and stop buttons. The
advent of DVD and VCD changed all that with branching content
and interactive interfaces - but we can still go further.
The next great innovation in video will be full interactivity.
Imagine viewing a video of a car and being able to click
the bonnet to get under the hood. We've glimpsed the future
- and we can tell you, while it may not be orange, it's
mighty fine!
