    Study Notes

    Multimedia Systems: Introduction

    • Multimedia combines various technologies, formats, and tools for web and mobile applications
    • Interactive applications include games, e-learning, e-books, kiosks, augmented reality, and more
    • Technologies include computer vision, interactive digital TV, mobile applications, and optical media (CD, DVD, Blu-ray, holographic)
    • Scripting languages and authoring tools are used for web and multimedia applications (AJAX, HTML 5, XML, JavaScript, CSS 3, Web 2.0, Web 3.0, multimedia clouds)
    • Multimedia encompasses digital audio, video, graphics, and photos
    • Multimedia developments arise from convergence of computing, telecommunications, and entertainment

    Multimedia: Definition

    • "Multi" comes from Latin "multus" (meaning multiple, large)
    • Plural of "medium" (meaning half or center) suggesting the use of multiple means for communication
    • A document is considered multimedia if it includes both text and an image/graph
    • Multimedia combines text, graphics, images, video, audio, animation, and other data digitally.
    • At least one "static medium" and one "dynamic medium" are necessary
    • Multimedia can include non-interactive and non-digital applications

    Multimedia Information Types

    • Multimedia uses various media types that, when combined, create a multimedia product.
    • Six basic media types exist, divided into static and dynamic categories
      • Text: Plain, Rich, Hypertext
      • Graphics (images)
        • Vector graphics
        • Bitmap Images
      • Images (bitmaps)
      • Video (moving images)
        • Digital cameras
        • Analog cameras
      • Animation
      • Audio (Digital Audio)
        • By scanning analog audio
        • Computer synthesized

    Multimedia System Classification

    • Multimedia classification can be categorized into opposing types:
      • Synthesized vs. Caught (generated vs. captured)
      • Static vs. Dynamic (unchanging vs. changing)

    Multimedia Systems Characteristics

    • Multimedia systems are controlled by computers, integrated digitally, and designed to be interactive
    • Media are independent and combine at least one static and one dynamic medium
    • Systems rely on integrated control by computer and allow for interactive user interfaces
    • Multimedia applications' areas of use are wide-ranging

    Multimedia Applications: Examples

    • Hypermedia combines text, graphics, and moving images
    • Applications include computer-generated imagery (CGI), 3D modeling, music composition, text-to-speech
    • Applications are tailored to specific areas like education, business, entertainment

    Multimedia Systems vs. Multimodal Systems

    • Multimodal systems utilize multiple senses for user interaction (e.g., sight, sound, touch)
    • Multimedia, while potentially using multiple media, isn't inherently multimodal. It may not necessarily interact with a user's experience in multiple ways.
