This document provides an overview of multimedia and animation presented by Shalini Singh, Shikha Tomar, Shikha Malik, and Ram Dutt Shukla. It defines multimedia as the combination of more than one media for information presentation. The key components of multimedia are described as text, graphics, audio, video, and animation. Examples of multimedia applications include distance learning, video games, advertisements, presentations, and kiosks. Principles of animation like persistence of vision and phi are discussed. The differences between animation and video are also highlighted.

Multimedia is combination of
more than one media into an
information source or
presentation.

6. Multimedia Computer System
• It is the capability to integrate two or more
types of media ( text, graphics, images, audio
and video) for the purpose of generation,
storage, representation and access of
multimedia information.

7. Requirements of Multimedia

9. TEXT
Alphanumeric character are used to
present information in text form.
The native language of web is HTML,
which is designed to display simple text
documents on computer screen.

10. Hardware and Software
requirements for text
Keyboard.
Optical Character Recognizers (OCR).
Text Editors.
Text Style.
Text Searching.
Hypertext.
Text Importing and Exporting.

12. GRAPHICS
Computer graphics deals with the
generation, representation, manipulation
and display of pictures with the aid of a
computer.

13. Types of Graphics
• Generative Graphics
• Images

14. Generative Graphics
Drawings and Illustrations in the form of 2-
Dimensional and 3-Dimensional pictures
created for mathematical representation of
simple objects.
Examples
– Illustrative Diagrams

15. Applications
Computer Aided Design (CAD).
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM).

16. Images
• These are pictures and photographs
.
composed of a collection of pixels

17. A Bit About Graphics
©1999 Theta Data
Vector Graphics - .eps, Bitmapped Graphics -
.png, drawing programs, .gif, .jpg, .bmp, .ticc, .pcx,
CAD, some clipart scanned graphics, photos

18. Hardware and Software
requirements
for Graphics
 Painting or Drawing Software.
 Screen Capture Software.
 Digitizer
 Scanners
 Plotters

19. AUDIO

20. Computer audio deals with synthesizing,
recording and playback of audio or sound with
the aid of computer.
Example
In Learning audio can be added to the
animation clip.

21. ANALOG AND DIGITAL
AUDIO
• Audio information travels in natural
medium in the form of sound waves which
are analog in nature.
• Analog Is converted in digital form by
Transducer for the computer.
• Example
Microphone

22. Hardware and Software
requirements
for Audio
• Sound Card.
• Output Device.
• Audio File Importing.
• Recording and playback capability.
• Voice Recognition software.

23. Video

24. • Computer video deals with the recording
and display of a sequence of images at a
reasonable speed to create impression of
movement.
• Each individual image of a sequence of
images is called a Frame.
• For jerk-free full motion video 25-30
frames have to be displayed per second.

25. Hardware and Software
requirements
for Video
• Video Editors.
• Video Monitor.
• Video Board.
• Input Device like video camera
• Recording and Playback Capability.

27. MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION
• Multimedia presentation
• Distance and interactive training
• Foreign language learning
• Video games
• Animated advertisements
• Multimedia conferencing
• Special effects in films
• Multimedia kiosk

28. DISTANCE AND
INTERACTIVE TRAINING

29. VIDEO GAMES

32. SPECIAL EFFECTS IN
MOVIES

33. MULTIMEDIA KIOSK
• Multimedia kiosk has a touch-screen monitor
with user friendly graphical user interface for
ease of operation by general public.
• Multimedia kiosk are often used in public
places as information providers.
• Example –
At Airport

34. MULTIMEDIA
CONFERENCING
• Multimedia conferencing refers to a system
that simulates face-to-face interactions among
participating users located far from each other.

36. ANIMATION
• Animation deals with the generation,
sequencing and display of a set of images to
create an effect of visual motion.
• Visual effects such as wipes ,fades, zooms and
dissolves , available in most authoring
packages , are a simple form of animation.
• Television video build 30 entire frames every
second. Movies are typically shot at a shutter
rate of 24 frames per second.

37. Why use Animation?
• Animation can help organize thoughts
and illustrate processes.
• Animation is useful for illustrating
concepts which involve movement.

38. Example
• Teaching swimming –the proper way to
swing hands for swimming can be more
effectively illustrated with an animation.
• Flow of blood in arteries and veins can be
illustrated with the help of animation.

39. TYPES OF ANIMATION
• 2-Dimensional animation
• 2-1/2 Dimensional animation
• 3-Dimensional animation

40. 2-DIMENSIONAL
• The visual changes that bring an image alive
occur on the flat Cartesian x and y axes on the
screen.
• These are simple and static , not changing their
position on the screen.
• Authoring and presentation software such as
Flash or Power-point provide user friendly
tools to compute positional changes.

41. 2-1/2 DIMENSIONAL
• An illusion of depth is added to an image
through shadowing and highlighting, but
image still rests on flat x and y axes.
• Embossing, shadowing, beveling and
highlighting provide a sense of depth by
raising an image .
• Examples are Adobe illustrator , Photoshop,
Fireworks, and After effects.

42. 3-DIMENSIONAL
• Software creates a virtual realm in three
dimension, and changes are calculated along
all three axes.
• It allows the viewer to wander around and get
a look at all the object’s parts from all angles.

43. PRINCIPLES OF ANIMATION
• Animation is possible because of a biological
phenomenon known as persistence of vision
and a psychological phenomenon called phi.
• With the simplest tools you can make a
bouncing ball to animate your web-site using
GIF89a.
• Making animations appear natural requires a
basic understanding of the principles of
physics.

44. Difference between animation
and video
• Animation is commonly used in those
instances where video graphy is not possible.
• Animation can better illustrate the concept
than video.
• Example- Earth is revolving around its axis
can not be video graphed but can show
through animation.

45. MORPHING
• Transformation of object shapes from one
form to another is called morphing.

46. CONCLUSION
• Multimedia serves us an opportunity to create
animated objects.
• Multimedia is used in every field
In industry.
In schools ,colleges.
In day to day life.
In designing.
• Multimedia will provoke radical changes in the
teaching process during coming decades, students can
discover they can go beyond the limits of traditional
teaching.
