Title

Multimedia - myth or reality?

Abstract

Considers whether there really is a place for multimedia technology in the broad spectrum of information technology or whether it is simply a fringe technology with no real benefit to the average end user. Briefly considers the role of publishers in driving the multimedia trend and concludes with a mention of adaptive pattern recognition, of the type developed by Excalibur Technologies, for the automatic indexing of the entire content of every document, whether it be in the form of video, voice pattern, signal, graphics or text
