Paper abstract: Hyper videos introduce the possibilities of navigating and controlling the flow of information in a non-linear information structure to videos as we know them from hyper texts. In this paper we are going to analyze the design of links in hyper videos by showing the possibility of representing links in and the design options in a linkage scenario. In a linkage scenario links can be presented by means of effects or as explorative links. Links by means of effects can be represented by frames, by contrast in color, by three-dimensional objects or by illumination effects. Explorative links have to be discovered by the user in a scene. Explorative links can be represented by words on objects, by signs on objects, by striking objects and by doors. A usability test has been designed to evaluate the usability of explorative links in hyper videos. We are going to present the results of this usability test in this paper.
