Multimedia keeps getting more powerful and sophisticated as hardware and storage performance makes the file sizes more manageable and reduces the need for performance reducing compression and streaming technologies.
Multimedia has been powering our lives since the past two decades. Its ability to integrate text, graphics, animation, special effects, video and audio gives it the mantle of being the platform that drives learning, entertainment, simulation, gaming, presentation and visualization.
Multimedia has long been restricted by file storage, processing and transmission speeds. Compression methods have been used to make multimedia applications more manageable but have also compromised performance to a degree. The last few years has seen remarkable advancements in processor performance, high volume storage and quick retrievals, better transmission technologies and higher bandwidths of connectivity.
Multimedia now promises real-time video and hopes to enlarge its scope as a critical technology and tool for enterprise applications. Internet television and multimedia will integrate with other enterprise technologies and applications to provide real-time virtual collaboration, telepresence, video conferencing, distance learning and innovative entertainment applications. |
