Hypervideo (HV, also known as interactive video) is a nonlinear video presenting (1) complex functions to control the navigation of the video stream, (2) hyperlinks giving access to additional information and materials through specific markers or hotspots and (3) annotation features allowing users to integrate their notes in the video and share and discuss them with others (Sauli et al., 2018). Both hyperlinks and annotations are considered additional layers of information that are placed over the video. For this reason, HV can be considered a technologically easier and less-expensive variant compared with AR, being able to integrate in an interactive way to overcome the risk of passivity that video sometimes entails.
