Interactivity of Multimedia

• Multimedia may be broadly divided into linear and non-linear categories.

• Multimedia presentations can be live or recorded. • A recorded presentation may allow interactivity via a

navigation system. • A live multimedia presentation may allow interactivity via

interaction with the presenter or performer.
