Multimedia Basics-technology: v. 1 English 2005

Currently Multimedia includes the combination of audio, video and interaction. But behind these terms it often conceals more than it shows: It is not only a question of text, language, music, pictures and video-clips, but also of other forms of representations such as diagrams, technical drawings, cartographic materials and graphic formulas; from such different field as mathematics to chemistry, of three-dimensional models and environments, of the visualization of high-dimensional events and something fundamentally new: working with abstract pictures and films, that a new quality of the achieving of information and emotion is shown. Occasionally crucial voices arise against the introduction of these New Media. The fact, is however, that we are already surrounded by these media. Dr. Holing is always occupied with the latest developments in the field of multimedia and New media, without, however, neglecting the foundations the basic principles - as we can see in Media Basics : Technology. With clear learning objectives, didactically carefully processed material and examination questions and answers in every module, the book is not only suitable as a support for instruction units, courses and lectures, but also for private study as a reference. This first volume of the book is aimed at everyone involved the technological aspect of New media.
