Interactive Video: Barter System
Overview
The Barter System is an ancient concept that has been around for centuries. It wasn’t until coins were established as a form of currency, replacing the exchange of goods or services directly between people. This interactive video takes you on a journey through time to explore exactly how this system worked and its evolution over time – all with the help of Vyond and Camtasia! By breaking up each stage into smaller videos, I was able to add markers to craft an engaging experience without it seeming jumpy when including interactions. With added hotspots and questions along the way, viewers can immerse themselves in learning more about our cultural history involving money!
