CATEGORIZATION
 Linear Multimedia.
 Non-Linear Multimedia.
LINEAR MULTIMEDIA
 It is a type of a multimedia that is designed to be presented in a
sequential manner.
 It has a distinct beginning and end.
 It goes on a logical flow from a starting point to a conclusion.

Contd…
 It is usually intended for display purposes with not much
interaction or distraction from the audience.
 It lacks any extra features that a user can take advantage.
 Examples :
A PowerPoint presentation.
Printed books and magazine.
 A slideshow of pictures that goes on with a specific direction
Movie presentations.
YouTube video.
ADVANTAGES OF LINEAR MULTIMEDIA
 To aid in teaching or training.
 This kind of media is preferential if interaction is not necessary in

the presentation.
 Linear multimedia works exceedingly well for providing

information to large groups of people.
DISADVANTAGES OF LINEAR MULTIMEDIA
 Minimal interactivity, or none at all .
 Audience has no say on the topic they want to dwell into.

NON-LINEAR MULTIMEDIA
 It is the opposite of linear multimedia; it doesn't follow that one-

way structure and instead allows free movement around all aspects
of the multimedia in any order.
 Non-linear content is also known as hypermedia content.
 Non-linear multimedia is a non-sequential type of multimedia

where the person’s participation is crucial.
Contd…
 It is an interactive Multimedia.
 Examples
Television.
Social Media.
A Website.
Video games.
ADVANTAGES OF NON-LINEAR MULTIMEDIA
 The person is in control and may use the multimedia according to
his preferences and needs.
 Non-linear content offers user interactivity to control progress as

used with a computer game or used in self-paced computer based
training.
 A recorded presentation may allow interactivity via a navigation

system.
DISADVANTAGES OF NON-LINEAR MULTIMEDIA
 Requires a level of computer literacy from the user .
 May be unorganized if not used well.

interaction.
Contd..
 Multimedia presentations often have some audio tracks which
makes it easier for people to understand.
 Various audio software include VLC media player, real player, etc.
Images
 Pictures(images) is a two-dimensional screen display, and as well

 The embedding of video in multimedia applications is a powerful

way to convey information which can incorporate a personal
element which other media lack.
 Video enhances, dramatizes, and gives impact to your multimedia

application.
Contd…
 Common digital video formats include Flash, MPEG, AVI, WMV and
QuickTime.
 The advantage of integrating video into a multimedia presentation
is the capacity to effectively convey a great deal of information in the
least amount of time.
ANIMATION
 Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-
D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of
movement.
 The effect is an optical illusion of motion due to the phenomenon

of persistence of vision.
 Animation adds visual impact to the multimedia project.

Contd…
 Animation are used in cartoons, scientific visualization.
INTERACTIVITY
 Interactivity can be termed as the dialog that occurs between an
individual and a computer program.
 Interactive multimedia refers to the multimedia applications that

allow users to actively participate rather than being passive
recipients of information.
 Technologies such as DVDs and digital TV are classic examples of

interactive media devices, where a user can control what they
watch and when.
Contd…
 Interactivity also relates to new media art technologies where
humans and animals are able to interact with and change the course
of an artwork.
MULTIMEDIA TODAY
 Multimedia and its related applications have almost become
synonymous with modern technology; given the kind of explosion
the technological realm has seem.
 Multimedia makes our life easier several times fold. It is through

multimedia that mobile phones can be used for a number of
purposes.
Contd...
 With the introduction of newer generation of mobile phones and more
advanced communication protocols, the number of multimedia uses that your
phone can be put to keeps growing.
 Video conferencing which enables people across global borders to communicate

with each other in real time is an excellent example of how multimedia has
benefited the world of communications and telephony.
FUTURE OF MULTIMEDIA
 The technology of multimedia design utilizes various features like
animation, video, graphics, audio and sound to impress the users.
 Multimedia technology is used for 3D cinema applications and
mobile 3DTV environments.
 Animation is also being used in titling films, creating special effects
or in web entertainment programs. Thus scope of animation is huge
in context to market.
