[IxDA Discuss] Comments for our new video player

[Eugene Kim]

Hey all,

 

I was wondering if you had a second to provide some honest
critique/comments on our new IGN video player.  Finding usability
studies on video was difficult and there was no time to put our own
tests into the schedule, but we drew from our experience, picked our
fights, and came up with this:

Here are some sections we'd like feedback on:

 

-          actual video player (controls, preferences)

-          sharing the video

-          hot list/channels tabs

-          playlist

-          UI at the end of the video

 

This is my first major project at IGN.  I don't believe IGN has focused
on the user experience in the past so I feel this is a pretty big step
forward for us.

 

Thanks,

 

Eugene
