Designing a multimedia and multimodal interface presents many and diverse challenges. This book explores those challenges and lays the foundation for a more systematic approach to design. One key insight is that the basic issues underlying multimedia interface design fall into the broad areas of modeling, composing and solving technical problems. Specific topics include sound, time-varying media, architectural principles and theory, interfaces as drama, intelligent interfaces and multimedia operating systems.
