    CATEGORIES OF
    MULTIMEDIA
    Multimedia may be broadly divided into linear and
    non-linear categories. Linear active content
    progresses without any navigation control for the
    viewer such as a cinema presentation. Non-linear
    content offers user interactivity to control progress as
    used with a computer game or used in self-paced
    computer based training. Non-linear content is also
    known as hypermedia content.

    CATEGORIES OF MULTIMEDIA
    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.

    APPLICATIONS OF MULTIMEDIA
    Creative industries use multimedia for a variety of
    purposes ranging from fine arts, to entertainment, to
    commercial art, to journalism, to media and software
    services provided for any of the industries listed below.
    An individual multimedia designer may cover the
    spectrum throughout their career. Request for their
    skills range from technical, to analytical and to
    creative.

    CREATIVE INDUSTRIES
    Much of the electronic old and new media utilized by
    commercial artists is multimedia. Exciting presentations
    are used to grab and keep attention in advertising.
    Industrial, business to business, and interoffice
    communications are often developed by creative
    services firms for advanced multimedia presentations
    beyond simple slide shows to sell ideas or liven-up
    training. Commercial multimedia developers may be
    hired to design for governmental services and nonprofit
    services applications as well.

    COMMERCIAL
    In addition, multimedia is heavily used in the
    entertainment industry, especially to develop special
    effects in movies and animations. Multimedia games
    are a popular pastime and are software programs
    available either as CD-ROMs or online. Some video
    games also use multimedia features. Multimedia
    applications that allow users to actively participate
    instead of just sitting by as passive recipients of
    information are called Interactive Multimedia.

    ENTERTAINMENT AND FINE ARTS


    In Education, multimedia is used to produce
    computer-based training courses (popularly called
    CBTs) and reference books like encyclopaedia 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.
    Edutainment is an informal term used to describe
    combining education with entertainment, especially
    multimedia entertainment.

    EDUCATION
    Software engineers may use multimedia in Computer
    Simulations for anything from entertainment to training
    such as military or industrial training. Multimedia for
    software interfaces are often done as collaboration
    between creative professionals and software
    engineers.

    ENGINEERING
    Inthe Industrial sector, multimedia is used as a way to
    help present information to shareholders, superiors
    and coworkers. Multimedia is also helpful for providing
    employee training, advertising and selling products all
    over the world via virtually unlimited web-based
    technologies.

    INDUSTRY
    In Mathematical and Scientific Research, multimedia
    is mainly used for modeling and simulation. 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.

    MATHEMATICAL AND SCIENTIFIC


    RESEARCH
    In Medicine, doctors can get trained by looking at a
    virtual surgery or they can simulate how the human
    body is affected by diseases spread by viruses and
    bacteria and then develop techniques to prevent it.

    MEDICINE
    In hotels, railway stations, shopping malls, museums,
    and grocery stores, multimedia will become available
    at stand-alone terminals or kiosks to provide
    information and help. Such installation reduce
    demand on traditional information booths and
    personnel, add value, and they can work around the
    clock, even in the middle of the night, when live help
    is off duty.
