ABSTRACT
The convergence of computing and media presentation technologies has led to the coining of multimedia, a term that encompasses a variety of computer-controlled interactive media. “Media” refers to various forms of presentation that can be captured and processed using a computer, such as video, audio, text, graphics, images; while “multi” indicates that several of these media elements are used in the same application. The Interactive Multimedia Association defines multimedia as delivery of information, usually via a personal computer, that combines different content formats (text, graphics, audio, still images, animation, motion video) and/or storage media (magnetic disc, optical disc, video/ audio tape, RAM).
