Ever wanted to hyperlink to images in a video? Now you can with Asterpix. Asterpix allows you to create hypervideos that you can share on other sites.
This is really cool technology that allows you to hyperlink to images within a video, even if they’re moving. Viewers can see that an image has more information available by a shiny circle appearing occasionally over the object. By scanning over the ring, a little bubble comes up with the extra information, and by clicking on the object, you are then led to the attached link in another window so that you can continue to enjoy the video from the spot you paused it. If you want to view the video without the circle indicators, you can easily turn them off. Once you’re done looking at a hyperlink, you can click out of it and continue watching the video.
Instead of being a host for videos, they are planning on integrating their hypervideos into existing sites via widgets. This is some great new technology that I could see being integrated into many different video hosting sites to make the experience more interactive than ever before.
