NCeSS "Replaytool"

"Replaytool" is a software tool being developed by the Digital Record for e-Social Science (DReSS) department of the National Center for e-Social Science (NCeSS). I saw this demo'd in London last week: it enables the replay and annotation of (time-based) social science data sets, including simultaneous synchronized replay of multiple data sources, including videos, sytem log files, and spatial data. It is already being used to test consumer uses of new software, for development purposes, but one can imagine several applications for studies of other types of social interaction. A paper explaining the project is now available.
