ABSTRACT:
The transparent overlay viewer interface system of the present invention provides control areas that minimize or eliminate viewer distraction. In one implementation a grid of nine transparent control areas are overlayed on a foreign language instructional program that includes video of conversational situations. Each of the control areas is assigned a control function such as replaying an utterance chunk, providing foreign language subtitles, providing a translated text, etc. The video may be displayed on a projection screen or large monitor in the classroom environment and operated by an instructor using an infrared mouse or other remote control device or a conventional mouse. The resulting transparent interface promotes viewer immersion in the video program and greater overall program effectiveness.
