Types of MultimediaPresentation
• Linear Multimedia – Users have very little control over the
presentation; stand alone.
– Sample
• Interactive Multimedia –
Users dictate the flow of delivery. – Sample

Linear Multimedia
– The users sit back and watches thepresentation.
– The presentation normally playsfrom the start to end or even loopscontinually to present theinformation.
–A movie is a common type of linear multimedia.

Interactive Multimedia
– The users control the delivery of elements – tocontrol the what and when.
– Users have the ability to move around or followdifferent path through the informationpresentation.
– Advantage: complex domain of information canbe presented.
– Disadvantage: users might lost in the massive“information highway”.
– Useful for: information archive (encyclopedia),education, training and entertainment.

Multimedia SystemCharacteristics
• Multimedia systems must becomputer controlled.
• All multimedia components areintegrated.
• The interface to the final user maypermit interactivity .
• The information must be represented digitally .

Why representinformation in digital
form?• Storage
• Transmission
•Processing

Why representinformation in digital
form? – Digital representation permits the storage of different information types on the samedevices.
–Information may also be transmitted over asingle digital network.
– When digitized, all form of information maybe treated by computer programs, for
editing, quality improvement, orrecognition of the meaning of theinformation.

Block: Text Text in Multimedia
– A key component of any multimediaproduct.
– Multimedia products depend on text forvarious reasons:
• Page title
•Content of the information
• Label and Instruction

Block: Text The power of meaning….
– Word must be chosen carefully
• Precise and accurate meaning to describe
what you mean
– Words appear in titles, menus andnavigational aids.
– Test the words that you plan to use onseveral users and observe theirreaction.

Block: TextSerif versus Sans Serif
• Serif type has extra stroke at certainpoints on letters. –
Serif fonts are considered to be more readableon printed pages.
– Times, Century Schoolbook, Bookman
• Sans serif type does not have those extra
strokes – Sans serif fonts are usually more readable oncomputer screens.
– Arial, Century Gothic

Why is audio important inMultimedia?
• To reinforce message or theme
• To set the mood
• To catch the interest of the audience
• To alert the audience
• To include narration: effective fortraining and educational application.

Audio Consideration
• While audio (music or narration) can bevery useful, most of the time, they can be
irritating as well. – Use appropriate music to reflect the moodor theme.
– Give the users choice of turning off/on theaudio.
– In cases where the content of a pagedepends on audio (speech), considerproviding transcript as the alternative. (fordeaf people, non multimedia pc)

The characteristics of audiowaves:
Audio is described in terms of two characteristics:
Frequency The rate at which audio is measured Number of cycles per second or Hertz (Hz) Determines the pitch of the sound as heard by our
ears
The higher frequency, the clearer and sharper thesound the higher pitch of sound
Amplitude (or loudness) Sound’s intensity or loudness The louder the sound, the larger amplitude.

Before you create image…
• Plan your approach• Brainstorm ideas and concepts
for the graphic look
• Put the ideas on paper: makeflowchart and simulate thepages.
• Organize your tools• Make sure all tools needed are
available

2-D Drawing
• Still images are drawn in oneof two ways: – Bitmapped images
– Vector-drawn images
• Images are usually
compressed to save space – Formats like GIF, JPEG and
PNG incorporate compression

Bitmapped Image
• A simple matrix or grid of dotswith color information.
i.e. an array of color dots that whenlooked at from distance forms animage.
• The smallest element of a
bitmap is a pixel.

Vector Image• Image data are stored in the
form of
– Data points that describe thecollection of lines, curves, circle,ellipses, text, polygon and othershape
– The characteristic of each shapesuch as line type and fill/shadingspecification
• The information of the images
can be stored as coordinates 33

• Vector images are easily scaledwithout quality loss.
• Bitmapped images get grainyand pixilated when zoomed in

• Vector image files are usually
smaller – Contain information on how to
recreate the image
– Vector graphics are web
friendly• Calculation time for vector

Bitmapped vs. Vectorimages
• Vector image can easily be
edited. – Each element of the image retain its
identity and can be edited as anobject because the position and
attributes of each object are storedin the image model.
• Special effect can easily beapplied on bitmapped image
(distortion, blurring). 36

The power of animation• Animation is achieved by
adding motion to stillimage/object.
• May also be defined as thecreation of moving pictures oneframe at a time.
• Animation grabs attention.• Few types of animation
– Layout transition

• Animation can be used to
describe complexinformation / process in aneasier way
– Perform visual cues (e.g. howthings work)

How animation works?Animation is possible because of
• a biological phenomenon known
as persistence of vision – An object seen by human eye
remains chemically mapped on theeye’s retina for a brief time afterviewing
• a psychological phenomenoncalled phi.
– Human’s mind need to conceptually
complete the perceived action i.e.41

Multimedia BuildingBlock: Animation
How animation works?• Combination of these two (persistence
of vision + phi) make it possible for aseries of images that are changed very
slightly and very rapidly, one afteranother, to seemingly blend togetherinto a visual illusion of movement.
• E.g. a few cells or frames of rotating
logo, when continuously and rapidlychanged, the arrow of the compass isperceived to be spinning.

Video consideration• Video can add great impact to
your multimedia presentationdue to its ability to draw people
attention.• Video is also very hardware-
intensive (requires the highestperformance demand on your
computer) – Storage issue: full-screen,
uncompressed video uses over 20megabytes per second (MBps) of
bandwidth and storage space. – 45
