Interactive video has very creative and exciting features, useful for a range of segments and application, including entertainment, brand experience, information, training, and much more... here are just few examples of the benefits:
Interactivity enables video to be more engaging and immersive, making it possible to maintain attention for longer periods than typical linear videos. This feature can be further expanded, by using POV (Point of View) video footage, enabling viewers to engage with the video in a virtual reality and life-like manner.
Move smoothly and seamlessly from one video to another, with no interruptions or breaks in the narrative when passing key decision points – providing a much higher degree of emotional engagement and immersion for viewers.
One of the very best ways to watch and learn is by discovery. Interacting with videos that provide creative, branching options allow deeper degree of involvement, promoting active learning and increasing retention of information.
Decision points in the video timeline allow for opportunities to adapt the experience to individual viewers – giving the chance to decide what they want to branch to, or what they want to watch next. Logic can be added to analyze viewer decisions and adapt the delivery of personalized content, drastically increasing the time spent watching.
User viewing interactions can be tracked within the video - what and when viewer decisions were taken, what was completed, when they left the video and so on. Data statistics can be extremely useful in determining the viewer’s preferences, attention span or personality profile.
