Diver is a tool for authoring and sharing Dives. A Dive is an annotated perspective on any video record. Content can be captured by equipment ranging from basic consumer video cameras to specially built, high-resolution 360-degree panoramic cameras with a multi-microphone array. Diver allows for infinite points-of-view and commentary from a single video recording. The key concept behind Diver is Guided Noticing. DeskTop Diver allows users to import source movies and create new annotated "paths" through the video source. The new annotated movie is the user's own personal DIVE. WebDiver allows Divers to upload a Dive and share it with others who, in turn, can comment on the Dive.
The Diver project is being developed by a team led by Dr. Roy Pea, co-director of the Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning (SCIL) and Professor of Education and Learning Sciences. We have recently initiated a collaboration with the Diver project and are investigating integrating Diver and Dynapad.
