The use of multimedia

The combination of still and moving images, animation, sound and written words, music and other sounds creates a strong impression. Decent multimedia program applies these tools in their unity. Paying excessive focus on one of them (e.g., video image) can easily spoil the overall effect feeding information into a surprisingly inviting and easy-to-understand way, video takes a lot of space on the disk space and the download and playback slow down the program.
It is extremely important to have easy access to information on the disk. To specify the path to related information using hyperlinks: just click on one of them, and the user navigates to another screen important information.
Hyperlinks are especially important for multimedia as it provides freedom to the user: he can control how the volume of educational material, and the rate of absorption. Well-designed multimedia programs enable the user, just by clicking on the button to instantly return to the screen with an output to the hyperlink.
Another way to identify information in a multimedia application is associated with the use of built-in search capabilities. Search based on text. Even those apps that give you the ability to search videos or audio files, usually find it a textual description.
There are three basic search mechanisms by keyword, by topic, as well as full-text. Keywords applied to the image the more General themes and issues. For certain pieces of information the developer defines the keyword. The advantage of keyword search is its speed, since there is no need to rummage throughout the text, and can be limited to a built-in keyword list.
Subject searching in General tries to find a match, touching the titles of sections or subsections. And in this case, when the operation is complete, the application displays a list of files that appears in which the desired theme.
Full text search is slower, therefore, is carried out throughout the app. After its completion the app will display a list of all articles containing references to subject of search.
Multimedia applications are not limited to games and encyclopedias. This can be manuals for domestic or professional purposes, for example, there are vices, explaining how to improve communication skills or how to make in-house repairs. Find application also in the educational sphere, by teaching children to count and to read, adults foreign language. There are tourist guides which provides you before you go to any city to see and "hear" him, to plunge into its atmosphere. There are ROMs for those who love to cook, repair a car.
