Interactive Multimedia Software

Unlike a piece of paper, a computer-based publication can combine words and pictures with sound, animation and video. This combination has been shown to drastically increase the amount of understanding and information retained by the user.

Most importantly and unlike any other media, a computer-based publication can respond to interaction from the user.

Multimedia is simply the most efficient and enjoyable way to learn, understand and explore.

Interactive Displays

Today’s audience are not satisfied with just the standard text-and-picture displays. Your visitors are increasingly likely to be the playstation generation, who expect visitor centre activities to be ‘hands-on’ and at least in some part, computer-based.

Mechanical displays can suffer by becoming stale and uninteresting in a relatively short space of time, in the worst case after only a single visit. It is often difficult to achieve a sufficiently challenging design and almost impossible to upgrade.

Interactive multimedia publications, with embedded pictures, sound, animations and video can deliver a multitude of options, challenge and interest which can easily be varied or upgraded over time, potentially giving something new on each visit.

User interactivity can be controlled simply by a mouse, or by touch-screen technology. Displays can be for the single user, or overhead displays allowing several viewers to take part.

Non-Interactive Displays

Your multimedia solution does not have to be interactive. A constantly running publication on a large display screen can inform larger groups of people, including those who would not normally use or be comfortable with an interactive solution.

For non-interactive displays in particular, a section which changes over time can give the audience something new to look forward to on return visits.

Web Site Multimedia

Your multimedia presentations can also be exported as Adobe Flash productions. This means that media-rich interactive productions can also be showcased on your website.

Delivery

We can deliver your multimedia solution:

• running directly from a computer hard drive via the mouse or touch-screen technology
• on an interactive multimedia CD ROM, running from a computer CD drive, or on DVD running from a computer DVD drive
• on DVD, running from a set top DVD player to a TV screen
• running from your web site as an Adobe (Macromedia) Flash SWF file

Remember that multimedia content can be easily moved and re-used. An interactive publication can therefore be developed into a non-interactive display, interpretive board, web content or leaflet at relatively low cost, boosting your value for money.
