Today, vast quantities of media content of all kinds are circulating around us. Typically this content is scattered in different places, sometimes in multiple copies, and often cannot be found even when it is stored on your hard disk drive. So, clearly, digital content is not be used to its best advantage. To address this situation, the HHIL (Hitachi Human Interaction Laboratory) has conceived and developed an array of novel interfaces that increase the chances of finding the information one is seeking. More specifically, HHIL is trying to eliminate constraints of time, place, and limits imposed by different media and formats through a broad range of developments, including a new TV browsing interface that identifies the scenes one wants to see, various GUIs that increase the chances of encountering content of interest, and a very user-friendly mobile media player that lets you enjoy the media content that you have. HHIL is committed to design and development that improves the quality of the user experience derived from original content, and also improves the sheer pleasure and satisfaction people have in interacting with the content that they encounter.
