YouTube Adds Theater View
Tags: Video | YouTube
Think of it as removing interface distractions without the resource overhead of fullscreen. YouTube adds a theater view for feature-length videos. Watch it in action on Steve Jobs’ Stanford speech. I’ll probably never use it — anything worth watching theater-style is worth watching fullscreen — but it’s good to see YouTube try new things with its interface.
Of course, there’s still one interface distraction left: the slider bar. I’m waiting for an option to have that fade on mouseout.
