What visual cues might inform consumer selection of movies? In our
prototype of the cinema server, the consumer was offered vast array
of well designed video boxes from which to make selections.
This paradigm leveraged the consumers attachment to movie genres
and the design detail which inherent in the industries packaging of a
video cassette. By selecting and examining a video tape box, the
consumer can access key personnel, reviews and pictures.
The system was built on a then state-of-the-art Intel 486 computer
with current video capability.
