ABSTRACT
Multimedia design is implemented in degrees. A simple digital slideshow may enhance an otherwise static website, while elsewhere gamers enter online virtual worlds to participate in massively multiuser online role playing games. Whether deployed a little or a lot, digital multimedia means multisensory. It allows for communication via sound and touch in addition to sight. Multimedia makes interactivity possible. Users participate in providing input and feedback. Multimedia gives users control as far as when to access content, quantity of information, direction of exploration and pacing of the digital experience. Perhaps the most exciting thing about multimedia is the opportunity it provides to engage the audience fully. Imagine an interactive multimedia website devoted to the human heart. The Ken Burns effect is a gradual simultaneous zoom in or out and panning across images in a slideshow. Simple video-editing software is as commonplace as slideshow-making tools, and non-professionals can create good quality clips.
