Multimedia computing: applications, designs, and human factors

Computer input and output has evolved from teletypewriters to text oriented CRTs to today's window oriented bit mapped displays. Beyond text and images, multimedia input and output must be concerned with constant rate continuous media such as digital video and audio. Today's multimedia applications are just beginning to explore the capabilities of multimedia computing. There is a growing understanding of the functionality required by multimedia application domains such as intelligent interfaces, collaboration environments, visualization systems, and virtual reality environments. Advanced applications dynamically operate on and modify multimedia objects, providing possibilities previously unavailable for human computer interaction. This chapter discusses some of these advanced multimedia paradigms through examples of today's nascent multimedia applications. With an understanding of multimedia's full capabilities, large, quantum improvements in the usefulness of applications
