VideoWiki — Sum of All Human Knowledge Visualized

Welcome fellow Wikipedian,

Knowledge cannot be confined in text only. We, human beings perceive information visually and the sum of all human knowledge should also have a visual medium.

Have you ever wondered why there isn’t a video version of Wikipedia already? It’s 2017, streaming images and videos isn’t a big deal but Wikipedia is still predominantly a text-based encyclopedia.

* Okay, times up *

The reason for this is because videos once uploaded on the internet, cannot be edited again and Wikipedia relies on being continuously edited and updated.(Image uploading a video on YouTube, can you edit the video once you upload it? No, right?) The second major reason is that video-production is time-consuming and 💰.

VideoWiki cracks these problems and we have proved that building a collaborative multi-media encyclopedia is possible.

VideoWiki is CURRENTLY a small non-profit organization that believes in Open Content License and shares the same vision as Wikipedia.

In a future, where more of our interaction with technology is through images, videos and soon augmented reality, VideoWiki will play an important role in viewing Wikipedia.

The current User Interface of Wikipedia is still stuck in the 20th century. The modern culture is shifting towards more audio-visual than textual information delivery and therefore,

“VideoWiki’s goal is to improve the way people experience information.”
