Multimedia

Multimedia is essentially a coming-together of different media (media being video, graphics, text, sound, images etc.) in one place – usually on a computer from a CD or DVD ROM. It has the benefit of being interactive, allowing the viewer to choose the path they take through the presentation. It is very like using the internet, but more controllable and with the ability to include high-quality video.

From one disk, it is possible for the viewer to watch video clips, read text, move through explanatory graphics in stages and print out plans and data sheets. All this can be done intuitively, with the viewer making their own way through the presentation. However, presentations can be designed to be dipped into randomly, or can be programmed to take the viewer along a pre-determined path, depending on the application.

For staff training or education, question and answer sessions can be built into the multimedia, either  to be answered on-screen, or printed out

and handed in.

The resulting presentation can be viewed on a desktop or laptop computer, or on specifically designed hardware, such as a touch-screen computer.

Possible applications include training, education, hotels, museums, libraries, public utilities, local authorities.

Below are some example screenshots of Multimedia CD-ROM interfaces.
