Abstract

Streaming services offer access to huge amounts of movie and video collections, resulting in the need for intuitive interaction designs. Yet, most current interfaces are focused on targeted search, neglecting support for interactive data exploration and prioritizing speed over experience. We present the MovieWall, a new interface that complements such designs by enabling users to randomly browse large movie collections. A pilot study proved the feasibility of our approach. We confirmed this observation with a detailed evaluation of an improved design, which received overwhelmingly positive subjective feedback; 80% of the subjects enjoyed using the application and even more stated that they would use it again. The study also gave insight into concrete characteristics of the implementation, such as the benefit of a clustered visualization.
