 Welcome to the Project Panda Website

The previously known as StickiesAV

Investigators:
Ian MacColl
Jamie Madden
Matthew Simpson

The aim of this project is to integrate and extend existing Mac OS X and open-source tools to support distributed video annotation. StickiesAV will be a WWW-based system for creating, maintaining and sharing annotated bookmarks on streamed multimedia content, such as video. It arises from needs identified in our own work for tools to support collaborative analysis of ethnographic fieldwork and design video data, and for tools to support creation of a repository of annotated video tutorials for various software packages to be used by our undergraduate students.

This project will combine the Mac OS X UNIX foundation with the media creation, delivery and playback capabilities of QuickTime. It will use the Apache HTTP server, QuickTime Streaming Server (QTSS), PostgreSQL open-source database and various standards, such as Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML), Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL), H.264, MPEG-4 and 3GPP. The user interface will use Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) to provide a rich, responsive browser-based user experience.
