How stimulating are kids’ YouTube videos?
HyperStim? is a platform that helps parents understand how stimulating children's videos are by analyzing audiovisual features such as rapid scene changes, bright colors, and loud sounds. Parents can explore and compare videos to make more informed decisions about what their children watch.
- Check a video: paste a YouTube link and get its score.
- Rankings: the most and least stimulating videos and channels.
- Compare: put two videos or two channels side by side.
- How it works: what we measure and what the score means.
We measure production style only, from a 5-minute clip of the video. We don’t judge a video’s content, educational value, or age appropriateness.
A static Next.js site on GitHub Pages, and a Python (FastAPI) API that serves the video dataset and analyzes new videos. To run it or work on it, see DEVELOPMENT.md.
What the site stores and who it shares data with: privacy policy.
