However there is potential to bring these two activities together. In this paper, we present ongoing research with the goal of creating a more intuitive media player. The results of a survey are presented, with questions related to media sharing and the sharing of videos in particular. By asking questions about sharing, producing and watching content we try to link the answers together to an overall user experience. Based on these findings, the design of a new metadata-based media player is presented, which would allow users to share and watch videos in new ways.ensharing contentvideometadataannotation005presentation
