Yanomamö interactive project Prototype CS 577A, Team 6 10/4/13
Project Overview • Original Yanomamö Interactive CD-ROM program • Made in 1990s • Compatible with Mac OS 7.1 (now obsolete) • Poor video and image quality due to media size restrictions • Allows students to view Yanomamö tribe “Ax Fight” incident video and related texts • Allows students to access information about the Yanomamö tribe, individuals in the video, and their relations to each other PROJECT TASK Port the functionality of the YanomamöInteractive CD to a modern system
Requirements • Play/pause/full screen the video in high quality • Display searchable texts (papers, transcripts) related to the video • Click on parts of transcripts to jump to the related part of the video • Click on the name of a Yanomamötribe member in the text to show his/her picture, demographic information, genealogy tree segment, and to track him/her in the video • Show images, maps, figures, and other relevant anthropological information • Cross-platform accessibility
Risks • Linking of interactive transcripts to time based media • Displaying the name, genealogy, and demographic information by clicking on the name of a tribe member • Lacking Development Media – current system’s images, maps, demographic information, texts, and other media are not currently accessible • Time Constraint – strict 1 semester time frame; client requires a working version by end of semester
Prototype Items Critical interactive functionality between the video and related texts, demographic information, and genealogy tree • Click on parts of transcript to jump to the related part of the video • Click on the name of a Yanomamö tribe member in the text to show his/her picture, demographic information, genealogy tree segment, and to track him/her in the video
