Tools: Macromedia Products, Adobe Products, Corel Products, Discreet Products1. Course DetailMultimedia is a computer-based interactive communications process that incorporates text, graphics, sound, animation, and video The shared digital representation that combines different media together can be loosely called Multimedia

2. What Is Multimedia? Interactivity That goes beyond the simple control offered by VCR Where you can change the story by altering the events that occur Where you can choose to have transcription if there is hearing impairment Where you can choose to hear what is written if you have impaired vision

Forensic Multimedia Where jury members can examine the events from different angle

Entertainment Games | Starship Titanic, Doom and its bloody off springs, Prince of Persia Movies |

Education Cinemania, Encyclopedia, Britannica CBTs : Computer Based Trainings Simulations3. Applications of MultimediaHow to represent a particular data, information etc.. Pie Charts / Bar Charts generated from a spreadsheet Three Dimensional Data Representations Time Varying Presentations for complex dynamic systems Atmospheric dynamic to represent a tropical storm

Linear or Non Linear Behaviors TV Programs Block Buster Movies Web Sites

Creativity Target Audience Keen Observations Lots of exposure to similar area Indepth Analysis Re Creation in a better way Open to Criticism4. Visualization Online Delivery Uses a network to send information from computer, often server machine providing centralized storage of bulky data, to another, usually a personal computer onsomebodys desk. The network can be LAN, Internet (World Wide Web) Offline Delivery Uses some removable storage medium CD ROMs / DVDs

5. Delivery of MultimediaMaking of Multimedia requires software not only for preparation of individual media elements, but for their integration into finished production. Authoring Systems Programs that allow a designer to assemble different media elements in space and time, and add interactive behavior to them. These systems interpret user actions and commands in a nontrivial ways in order to translate the mode of working that is natural to designer. Story Boards Mean of making and communicating multimedia designs. Used in large animation studios, and by music videos and advertisement producers, to plan the construction of a piece of work, and to communicate its structure among the team producing it. A sequence of still picture showing the composition of shots at key points in production. So it plans the work, which can be used to organize its subsequent development. Linear in behavior like a comic strip.6. Multimedia Production

Initial Story Board

After Multimedia Production What do call a mixture of media under software control?

Multimedia Production Where the display and presentation of media elements is a sole purpose Web Page or an encyclopedia on CDROM

Multimedia Application Where the display of the multimedia is more intimately bound up with computation7. Terminology

8. User Interface

Means by which choices can be presented to users can vary enormously. Menus, Dialog Boxes, Outlined Buttons and so on 1945 Vannevar Bush (18901974) wrote about Memex 1960s Ted Nelson started Xanadu project 1967 Nicholas Negroponte formed the Architecture Machine Group at MIT 1968 Douglas Engelbart demonstrated NLS system at SRI 1969 Nelson & Van Dam hypertext editor at Brown 1976 Architecture Machine Group proposal to DARPA: Multiple Media 1985 Negroponte, Wiesner: opened MIT Media Lab 1989 Tim BernersLee proposed the World Wide Web to CERN 1990 K.
