However, its multimedia content and interoperability are limited. As a joint university, government, and industry sponsored project, the University of Ottawa's MCRLab designed a prototype that provides multimedia capabilities. Hypermedia Authoring Athula Ginige, David B. Lowe, and John Robertson Developers of large hypermedia systems, or systems likely to require maintenance over a period of time, must select a structured approach to authoring or risk greatly inflated development costs, a less than desired level of functionality, and difficulties in use and maintenance. This media taxonomy serves both research and development of multimedia applications. It correlates well with previous categorizations of multimedia and helps researchers better understand the impact and value added by an individual medium in a multimedia presentation.
Various problems afflict projected multimedia presentations.
Developers of multimedia presentations should follow some guidelines to avoid common problems associated with the projection of multimedia materials. The Mehida multimedia system offers hearing-impaired children an easy and appealing way to learn how to communicate with both their hearing and deaf peers. Didactic activities and games teach the different means of communication. Multimedia and Spatial Information Systems Zarine Kemp Spatial information systems increasingly require incorporation of multimedia data types. An example ecological application with extensive multimedia requirements illustrates how multimedia data can be integrated with spatial information systems in a generic, application-independent manner.
