Abstract

Through the previous work, the authors have already proposed a new concept of ‘universal multimedia access’ to narrow the digital divide by providing appropriate multimedia expressions according to users’ (mental and physical) abilities, computer facilities, and network environments. In our approach, multimedia contents are presented to support such functions as user interface s witching, media switching and QoS switching. In order to evaluate our approach to user interface switching, we have constructed some contents to introduce one of sightseeing areas called ‘Keishochi (Splendid Scenery)’ providing 9 user interfaces, where a broadcast operation is supported to emulate sightseeing with video data. In this paper, we discuss new sightseeing contents in multiple resolutions supported by 3 additional types of operations in HTML5 and Java Script.
