INTERACTIVE MULTIMEDIA
DATE: August 23, 2018
1. MULTIMEDIA- multimedia is content that uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, images, animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material.
Multimedia can be recorded and played,
displayed, interacted with or accessed by information content processing devices, such as
computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live
performance. Multimedia devices are electronic media devices used to store and experience
multimedia content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in fine art; for example, by including audio it has a
broader scope. In the early years of multimedia the term "rich media"
was synonymous with interactive multimedia, and "hypermedia" was an application
of multimedia."(WIKIPEDIA")
2. INTERACTIVITY- Across the many fields concerned with interactivity, including information science, computer science, human-computer interaction, communication, and industrial design, there is little agreement over the meaning of the term "interactivity", although all are related to interaction with computers and other machines with a user interface("WIKIPEDIA")
3.MULTIMEDIA CONTENTS- "Video clips" Video clips incorporated in a website are all the rage now. Before the YouTube revolution, video clips had to be downloaded before anyone could see them. With the advances in technology, Internet speeds got a lot faster, which allowed for live video streaming over the net, and YouTube-like sites were born. Today, embedding a video clip in a web page is more than easy, and video clips can be easily shared via your blog, forum or even a small video commercial which you can put on your online store - something, which would cost you a fortune if you had to air it on the television. "Images" Images were the first type of multimedia to be ever used in a web page. They quickly became an indispensable part of the website design process. Due to the fact that images were pretty small back then, and mostly in the GIF file format, they used very little disk space and bandwidth and were ideal to illustrate every article. This gave birth to the first online news portals, which intended to replace the regular newspapers, offering last minute news without the need to purchase a separate newspaper."Audio" is another thing, which was affected by the technology advances. And while a video clip will require much more bandwidth and server resources, audio files are much faster to process from a server’s point of view. This helped for their distribution among website creators much faster. Today, a website with a musical background is something more than normal, and on a lot of websites you can easily listen to an audio track, which is uploaded on the web server with the help of a simple player. This has also assisted many independent musicians in promoting their music and has allowed even for the creation of Internet music labels. https://www.ntchosting.com/encyclopedia/multimedia/multimedia-content/
