Mira Dontcheva
Adobe Research
Video is the Core Communication Tool of the Future
November 20, 2020

Capturing and sharing video is now easier than ever. Yet consuming and creating with video remains hard. Our video interfaces today are still rooted in a timeline and force users to deal with individual frames despite advances in video understanding that now show who is in a video, what they are saying, and how they feel. In this talk Mira will present a framework for understanding common video tasks followed by research projects that point to possibilities for future video interaction.
