Users often make continued and sustained use of online re-sources to complement use of a desktop application. For ex-ample, users may reference online tutorials to recall how to perform a particular task. While often used in a coordinated fashion, the browser and desktop application provide sepa-rate, independent mechanisms for helping users find and re-find task-relevant information. In this paper, we describe In-terTwine, a system that links information in the web browser with relevant elements in the desktop application to create in-terapplication information scent. This explicit link produces a shared interapplication history to assist in re-finding in-formation in both applications. As an example, InterTwine marks all menu items in the desktop application that are cur-rently mentioned in the front-most web page. This paper introduces the notion of interapplication information scent, demonstrates the concept in InterTwine, and describes results from a formative study suggesting the utility of the concept.

ABSTRACT We present Video Lens, a framework which allows users to visualize and interactively explore large collections of videos and associated metadata. The primary goal of the framework is to let users quickly find relevant sections within the videos and play them back in rapid succession. The individual UI elements are linked and highly interactive, supporting a faceted search paradigm and encouraging exploration of the data set. We demonstrate the capabilities and specific scenarios of Video Lens within the domain of professional baseball videos. A user study with 12 participants indicates that Video Lens efficiently supports a diverse range of powerful yet desirable video query tasks, while a series of interviews with professionals in the field demonstrates the framework's benefits and future potential.
