For example, a scientist can look at a molecular model of a particular substance and manipulate it to arrive at a new substance. Representative research can be found in journals such as the Journal of Multimedia . One well-known example of this being applied would be in

1404-429: A widget is its associated X window and the common initial letter is not un-useful. Any widget displays an information arrangement changeable by the user, such as a window or a text box . The defining characteristic of a widget is to provide a single interaction point for the direct manipulation of a given kind of data. In other words, widgets are basic visual building blocks which, combined in an application, hold all

1482-489: A widget typically differs depending on whether it is enabled or disabled; when disabled, a widget may be drawn in a lighter color (" grayed out ") or be obscured visually in some way. See the adjacent image for an example. The benefit of disabling unavailable controls rather than hiding them entirely is that users are shown that the control exists but is currently unavailable (with the implication that changing some other control may make it available), instead of possibly leaving

1560-421: Is a robust education methodology within the social work context. The five different types of multimedia that support the education process are narrative media , interactive media , communicative media, adaptive media, and productive media.

1716-588: Is ambiguous in multimedia terminology. Video is often used to describe the file format, delivery format, or presentation format instead of " footage " which is used to distinguish motion photography from " animation " of rendered motion imagery. Multiple forms of information content are often not considered modern forms of presentation, such as audio or video. Likewise, single forms of information content with single methods of information processing (e.g., non-interactive audio) are often called multimedia, perhaps to distinguish static media from active media. In

1794-451: Is an example of this type of multimedia journalism production. Multimedia reporters who are mobile (usually driving around a community with cameras, audio and video recorders, and laptop computers) are often referred to as mojos , or mobile journalists. Software engineers may use multimedia in computer simulations for anything from entertainment to training , such as military or industrial training. Multimedia for software interfaces

1872-399: Is as represented here. Multimedia Multimedia encompasses various types of content, each serving different purposes: Multimedia can be recorded for playback on computers, laptops , smartphones , and other electronic devices. In the early years of multimedia, the term "rich media" was synonymous with interactive multimedia . Over time, hypermedia extensions brought multimedia to

1950-422: Is as strong as any traditional medium. In education , multimedia is used to produce computer-based training courses (popularly called CBTs) and reference books like encyclopedias and almanacs. A CBT lets the user go through a series of presentations, text about a particular topic, and associated illustrations in various information formats. Learning theory in the past decade has expanded dramatically because of

2028-406: Is defined as a class by object-oriented programming ( OOP ). Therefore, many widgets are derived from class inheritance. In the context of an application, a widget may be enabled or disabled at a given point in time. An enabled widget has the capacity to respond to events, such as keystrokes or mouse actions. A widget that cannot respond to such events is considered disabled. The appearance of

2106-514: Is delivered by computer. When you allow the user – the viewer of the project – to control what and when these elements are delivered, it is interactive multimedia . When you provide a structure of linked elements through which the user can navigate, interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia ." This book contained the Tempra Show software. This was a later, rebranded version of the 1985 DOS multimedia software VirtulVideo Producer, about which

2184-438: Is increasingly becoming object-oriented and data-driven, enabling applications with collaborative end-user innovation and personalization on multiple forms of content over time. Examples of these range from multiple forms of content on Web sites like photo galleries with both images (pictures) and titles (text) user-updated to simulations whose coefficients, events, illustrations, animations, or videos are modifiable, allowing

2262-467: Is lacking the front-facing camera with only a single LED flash on the rear camera. The button layout has also been adjusted and the 3.5mm jack and micro USB port have been moved to the sides of the device.

2886-447: The 1960s, technology began to expand into classrooms through devices such as screens and telewriters. This technology allows students to learn at their own pace and gives teachers the ability to observe the individual needs of each student. The capacity for multimedia to be used in multi-disciplinary settings is structured around the idea of creating a hands-on learning environment through the use of technology. Lessons can be tailored to

2964-606: The Amiga 1000, which could produce 4096 colors (12-bit color), outputs for TVs and VCRs, and four-voice stereo audio. Changes in removable storage technology during this time were also important, as the standard CD-ROM can hold on average 700 megabytes of data, while the maximum amount of data a 3.5-inch floppy disk can hold is 2.8 megabytes, with an average of 1.44 megabytes. Greater storage allowed for larger digital media files and therefore more complex multimedia. The term "video", if not used exclusively to describe motion photography,

3120-519: The Smithsonian declared, "It is one of the first, if not the first, multi-media authoring systems on the market." The German language society Gesellschaft für deutsche Sprache recognized the word's significance and ubiquitousness in the 1990s by awarding it the title of German 'Word of the Year' in 1995. The institute summed up its rationale by stating, "[Multimedia] has become a central word in

3198-676: The World Wide Web, and streaming services became more common. The term multimedia was coined by singer and artist Bob Goldstein (later ' Bobb Goldsteinn ') to promote the July 1966 opening of his "Lightworks at L'Oursin" show in Southampton, New York , Long Island. Goldstein was perhaps aware of an American artist named Dick Higgins , who had two years previously discussed a new approach to art-making he called " intermedia ". On August 10, 1966, Richard Albarino of Variety borrowed

Ackerman explain where the term widget came from: We chose this term since all other common terms were overloaded with inappropriate connotations. We offer the observation to the skeptical, however, that the principal realization of

3354-588: The changing world of multimedia, journalistic practices are adopting and utilizing different multimedia functions through the inclusion of visuals such as varying audio, video, text, etc. in their writings. News reporting is not limited to traditional media outlets. Freelance journalists can use different new media to produce multimedia pieces for their news stories. It engages global audiences and tells stories with technology, which develops new communication techniques for both media producers and consumers. The Common Language Project, later renamed The Seattle Globalist ,

3432-590: The curriculum. First introduced to social work education by Seabury & Maple in 1993, multimedia technology is utilized to teach social work practice skills, including interviewing, crisis intervention, and group work. In comparison with conventional teaching methods, including face-to-face courses, multimedia education shortens transportation time, increases knowledge and confidence in a richer and more authentic context for learning, generates interaction between online users, and enhances understanding of conceptual materials for novice students. In an attempt to examine

3510-493: The data processed by the application and the available interactions on this data. GUI widgets are graphical elements used to build the human-machine-interface of a program. GUI widgets are implemented like software components . Widget toolkits and software frameworks, like e.g. GTK+ or Qt , contain them in software libraries so that programmers can use them to build GUIs for their programs. A family of common reusable widgets has evolved for holding general information based on

3588-452: The dedicated Streaming Player app and the mobile edition of Windows Media Player , both pre-included.

3978-1082: The impact of multimedia technology on students' studies, A. Elizabeth Cauble & Linda P. Thurston conducted research in which Building Family Foundations (BFF), an interactive multimedia training platform, was utilized to assess social work students' reactions to multimedia technology on variables of knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy . The results state that respondents show a substantial increase in academic knowledge, confidence, and attitude. Multimedia also benefits students because it brings experts online, fits students' schedule, and allows students to choose courses that suit them. Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning suggests that "people learn more from words and pictures than from words alone." According to Mayer and other scholars, multimedia technology stimulates people's brains by implementing visual and auditory effects and thereby assists online users to learn efficiently. Researchers suggest that when users establish dual channels while learning, they tend to understand and memorize better. The mixed literature of this theory

4056-433: The intervening forty years, the word has taken on different meanings. In the late 1970s, the term referred to presentations consisting of multi-projector slide shows timed to an audio track. However, by the 1990s, 'multimedia' had taken on its current meaning. In the 1993 first edition of Multimedia: Making It Work , Tay Vaughan declared, "Multimedia is any combination of text, graphic art, sound, animation, and video that

4134-563: The introduction of multimedia. Several lines of research have evolved, e.g., cognitive load and multimedia learning . From multimedia learning (MML) theory, David Roberts has developed a large group lecture practice using PowerPoint and based on the use of full-slide images in conjunction with a reduction of visible text (all text can be placed in the notes view' section of PowerPoint). The method has been applied and evaluated in 9 disciplines. In each experiment, students' engagement and active learning have been approximately 66% greater than with

4212-448: The language. One of the studies, carried out by Izquierdo, Simard and Pulido, presented the correlation between "Multimedia Instruction (MI) and learners' second language (L2)" and its effects on learning behavior. Their findings, based on Gardner 's theory of the " socio-educational model of learner motivation and attitudes," show that there is easier access to language learning materials as well as increased motivation with MI along with

4290-405: The movie Interstellar , where Executive Director Kip Thorne helped create one of the most realistic depictions of a black hole in film. The visual effects team under Paul Franklin took Kip Thorne's mathematical data and applied it into their own visual effects engine called "Double Negative Gravitational Renderer," a.k.a. "Gargantua," to create a "real" black hole used in the final cut. Later on,

4368-720: The multimedia "experience" to be altered without reprogramming. In addition to seeing and hearing, haptic technology enables virtual objects to be felt. Emerging technology involving illusions of taste and smell may also enhance the multimedia experience. Multimedia may be broadly divided into linear and non-linear categories: Multimedia presentations can be live or recorded: Multimedia finds its application in various areas, including, but not limited to, advertisements , art , education , entertainment , engineering , medicine , mathematics , business , scientific research , and spatial temporal applications . Several examples are as follows: Creative industries use multimedia for

4446-713: The multimedia created forms the foundation for which most creative endeavors that take place online. Microsoft is one of the biggest computer industries in the world, and a core foundation of its success relies on the ability of multimedia designers to optimize user experience through interacting with their products. Marketing and commercial practices are becoming increasingly reliant on interactive multimedia, allowing more sophisticated tactics and increased customer retention. Advertising companies heavily utilize social media, online interfaces and television to promote products, while ads and websites that utilize pop-ups need shorter, more concise methods to be as efficient and pleasing to

4524-469: The overall learning experience for students. Within education, video games, specifically fast-paced action games, are able to play a big role in improving cognitive abilities involving attention, task switching, and resistance to distractors. Research also shows that, though video games may take time away from schoolwork, implementing games into the school curriculum has an increased probability of moving attention from games to curricular goals. Multimedia

4602-493: The player an immersive experience. While video games can vary in terms of animation style or audio type, the element of interactivity makes them a striking example of interactive multimedia . Interactive multimedia refers to multimedia applications that allow users to actively participate instead of just sitting by as passive recipients of information. In the arts , there are multimedia artists who blend techniques using different media that in some way incorporate interaction with

4680-426: The potential customers as possible. These platforms can be used by commercial businesses to specifically target their desired audience with a message, advertisement or promotion. External and internal office communications are often developed by hired creative service firms to display information in a variety of situations. This can range from providing more engaging presentations to educating trainees or new workers on

4758-403: The presenter's ideas. They are commonly used among education and many other industries to benefit students and workers, as they effectively retain chunks of information in a limited amount of time and can be stored easily. Another example is charts and graphs, as the presenters can show their audience the trends using data associated with their researches. This provides the audience a visual idea of

The innovation of technology in education through the use of multimedia allows for diversification among classrooms to enhance

4914-606: The prevalence of technology, making it easier for students to obtain language learning skills. Multimedia motivates students to learn more languages through audio, visual, and animation support. It also helps create English contexts since an important aspect of learning a language is developing their grammar, vocabulary, and knowledge of pragmatics and genres. In addition, cultural connections in terms of forms, contexts, meanings, and ideologies have to be constructed. By improving thought patterns, multimedia develops students' communicative competence by improving their capacity to understand

4992-547: The real world using media such as audio, animation, and text. Augmented reality became widely popular only in the 21st century; however, some of the earlier versions of such were things like the Sega Genesis Activator Controller back in 1992, which allowed users to literally stand in an octagon and control in-game movement with physical movement, or to stretch back even further, the R.O.B. NES Robot back in 1984, which, with its array of accessories,

5070-476: The same material being delivered using bullet points, text, and speech, corroborating a range of theories presented by multimedia learning scholars like Sweller and Mayer . The idea of media convergence is also becoming a major factor in education, particularly higher education. Defined as separate technologies such as voice (and telephony features), data (and productivity applications), and video that now share resources and interact with each other, media convergence

5148-490: The sense of immersion. Input devices: Controllers or other input devices are used to interact with the virtual environment. These devices can simulate hands or tools, enabling users to manipulate objects or navigate within the virtual space. Computer processing: Powerful computers or gaming consoles are often required to generate and render the complex graphics and simulations needed for a convincing virtual experience. Augmented reality overlays digital content or output onto

5226-567: The side of buildings and wrapped around the edge or corner. Clips can then be added at differing angles to create a three-dimensional optical illusion , which is more likely to draw the attention of an observer. Multimedia is heavily used in the entertainment industry, especially to develop special effects in movies and animations (VFX, 3D animation, etc.). Multimedia games are a popular pastime and are software programs available either as CD-ROMs or online. Video games are considered multimedia, as they meld animation, audio, and interactivity to give

5304-891: The standard resolution of the DVD-Video format. The Omnia II additionally supports slow motion video recording with QVGA (320 × 240 pixels) at 120 frames per second, making it the earliest known smartphone to feature slow-motion video recording . The shutter button has two levels to resemble the point-and-shoot intuition from standalone digital cameras . Camera modes include "Sports mode" for shorter exposure times and "Night mode" for prolonged exposure times. Other imaging assets include geotagging , face detection , and smile detection. The phone has built-in video editing abilities, including trimming, audio dubbing, live dubbing, and subtitling. The Omnia II includes an advanced image-capturing feature called ActionShot Panoramic photography . The pre-included Smart Reader application

5382-402: The subject matter as well as personalized to the students' varying levels of knowledge on the topic. Learning content can be managed through activities that utilize and take advantage of multimedia platforms. This kind of usage of modern multimedia encourages interactive communication between students and teachers and opens feedback channels, introducing an active learning process, especially with

5460-399: The terminology, reporting: "Brainchild of song scribe-comic Bob (' Washington Square ') Goldstein, the 'Lightworks' is the latest multi-media music-cum-visuals to debut as discothèque fare." Two years later, in 1968, the term "multimedia" was re-appropriated to describe the work of a political consultant, David Sawyer, the husband of Iris Sawyer—one of Goldstein's producers at L'Oursin. In

5538-422: The use of computer-assisted language learning . Newspaper companies all over the world are trying to embrace the new phenomenon by implementing its practices in their work. While some have been slow to come around, other major newspapers like The New York Times , USA Today , and The Washington Post are setting a precedent for the positioning of the newspaper industry in a globalized world. To keep up with

5616-412: The user uncertain about where to find the control at all. On pop-up dialogues, buttons might appear greyed out shortly after appearance to prevent accidental clicking or inadvertent double-tapping. Widgets are sometimes qualified as virtual to distinguish them from their physical counterparts, e.g. virtual buttons that can be clicked with a pointer , vs. physical buttons that can be pressed with

5694-406: The viewer. Another approach entails the creation of multimedia that can be displayed in a traditional fine arts arena, such as an art gallery . Video has become an intrinsic part of many concerts and theatrical productions in the modern era and has spawned content creation opportunities for many media professionals. Although multimedia display material may be volatile, the survivability of the content

5772-422: The visual effects team went on to publish a black hole study. Medical professionals and students have a wide variety of ways to learn new techniques and procedures through interactive media, online courses, and lectures. The methods of conveying information to students have drastically evolved with the help of multimedia. From the 1800s to today, lessons are commonly taught using chalkboards. Projected aids, such as

5850-401: The widgets added to them, for example windows , panels , and tabs. Structuring a user interface with widget toolkits allows developers to reuse code for similar tasks, and provides users with a common language for interaction, maintaining consistency throughout the whole information system. Graphical user interface builders facilitate the authoring of GUIs in a WYSIWYG manner employing
