Multimedia Browsing

Silvia Pfeiffer, little known sister of Michelle and currently of the CSIRO Mathematical and Information Sciences Division, announced the release of a new browser that will revolutionise the management of multimedia material arriving from the internet.

The new browser, called Annodex, will allow for much more sophisticated management and searching of multimedia files for content.

Annodex allows users to divide files to into chunks - scenes of a film, for example - label them, and add links to each chunk. Sections, labels and links must currently be made by hand. The CSIRO team is working on ways to automate the process, such as with speech-recognition software.

It's first release will in a few weeks on Macintosh with Linux and Windows to follow.

err: only joking about the "sister of Michelle" bit
