Grab and play interactive video

A new way to manipulate video as you watch: you can "grab" on-screen objects and move them backwards and forwards, though actually you are only moving the video backwards and forwards. A "hint path" shows how the object can be moved.

The DimP direct manipulation player has been developed by the University of Toronto's Dynamic Graphics Project. There's an explanation in the video below.

Interesting to perhaps think of ways of matching this engine to a touch screen to give rise to some interactive outdoor / in-store activation ideas.
