The LectureSight System in Production Scenarios and Its Impact on Learning from Video Recorded Lectures

Abstract

The LectureSight project aims to develop a cost-effective solution for automatic camera control for lecture recordings. An earlier work presented the prototypical implementation of the system. In this work we present the results form testing the system in two experiments: LectureSight instances were deployed in two rooms and the performance of the system was assessed in live lectures. Furthermore an experimental study has been conducted to investigate the usefulness of videos with presenter tracking for the learner. The experiment involved participants from two universities that were put into a simulated exam situation.
