What's What: Multimedia Apparatus, Difficult This book from the What's What series tells about the exciting world of multimedia, computer networks and virtual reality, the value of which is invaluable. Probably, in a few years cinema or television in comparison with the capabilities of computers will seem to us as outdated as a miraculously preserved gramophone grandfather with records compared to a modern CD player. Gone are the days when only flashing green or amber-yellow numbers and letters appeared on computer screens. Today, the capabilities of computers seem almost limitless at your disposal and color, and sound, and movement, and three-dimensional image. In computing, there has been tremendous progress: in just a few years, the speed of calculations and the capacity of storage devices have increased thousands of times, which expanded the scope of computers. Multimedia tools have been extremely useful in the process of mastering a variety of branches of knowledge. Title: Multimedia and Virtual Worlds . Author: Andreas Schmenk, Arno Vatien, Rainer Kte .
