'''Multimedia''' is [[media (communication)|media]] and [[content (media and publishing)|content]] that utilizes a combination of different [[content format|content forms]]. The term can be used as a noun (a medium with multiple content forms) or as an adjective describing a medium as having multiple content forms. The term is used in contrast to media which only utilize traditional forms of printed or hand-produced general, multimedia includes a combination of [[Writing|text]], [[Sound|audio]], [[image|still images]], [[animation]], [[Footage|video]], and [[interactivity]] content forms.

Multimedia is usually recorded and played, displayed or accessed by [[information|information content]] processing devices, such as computerized and electronic devices, but can also be part of a live performance. ''Multimedia'' (as an adjective) also describes [[electronic media]] devices used to store and experience multimedia content. Multimedia is similar to traditional [[mixed media]] in [[fine art]], but with a broader scope. The term "rich media" is synonymous for [[interactive media|interactive multimedia]]. [[Hypermedia]] can be considered one particular multimedia application.

===C===
Multimedia may be broadly divided into '''linear''' and '''non-linear''' categories. Linear active content progresses without any navigation control for the viewer such as a [[movie theater|cinema presentation]]. Non-linear content offers user [[interactivity]] to control progress as used with a [[computer game]] or used in self-paced [[computer based training]]. [[Hypermedia]] is an example of non-linear content.

Enhanced levels of interactivity are made possible by combining multiple forms of media content. [[Online]] multimedia is increasingly becoming object-oriented and data-driven, enabling applications with [[Collaborative software|collaborative]] [[User innovation|end-user innovation]] and [[personalized|personalization]] on multiple forms of content over time. Examples of these range from multiple forms of content on Web sites like photo galleries with both images (pictures) and title (text) user-updated, to simulations whose co-efficients, events, illustrations, animations or videos are modifiable, allowing the multimedia "experience" to be altered without reprogramming. In addition to seeing and hearing, [[Haptic]] technology enables virtual objects to be felt. Emerging technology involving illusions of [[taste]] and [[odor|smell]] may also enhance the multimedia experience.

=== History of the term ===
*{{flagicon|USA}} [[Jacob's Dream]]
In [[1965]] the term Multi-media was used to describe the ''[[Exploding Plastic Inevitable]]'', a performance that combined live [[rock music]], [[Film|cinema]], experimental lighting and [[performance art]].{{Fact|date=July 2008}}
*{{flagicon|USA}} [[Jag Panzer]]


===K===
In the intervening forty years the word has taken on different meanings. In the late 1970s the term was used to describe presentations consisting of multi-projector slide shows timed to an audio track.{{Fact|date=July 2008}} In the 1990s it took on its current meaning. In common usage the term multimedia refers to an electronically delivered combination of media including video, still images, audio, text in such a way that can be accessed interactively.<ref>[http://www.timestream.com/products/books/mmwork/ Tay Vaughan<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Much of the content on the web today falls within this definition as understood by millions.

Some computers which were marketed in the 1990s were called "multimedia" computers because they incorporated a CD-ROM drive, which allowed for the delivery of several hundred megabytes of video, picture, and audio data.

=== Word usage and context ===
<!-- Mägo de Oz is not power metal, Mägo de Oz is heavy metal with symphonic metal influences, do not add it to the list -->
Since media is the plural of medium, the term "multimedia" is a [[pleonasm]] if "multi" is used to describe multiple occurrences of only one form of media such as a collection of [[CD|audio CDs]]. This is why it's important that the word "multimedia" is used exclusively to describe '''multiple forms''' of media and content.

===N===
The term "multimedia" is also ambiguous. Static content (such as a paper book) may be considered multimedia if it contains both pictures and text or may be considered interactive if the user interacts by turning pages at will. Books may also be considered non-linear if the pages are accessed non-sequentially. The term "video", if not used exclusively to describe motion photography, is ambiguous in multimedia terminology. ''[[Video]]'' is often used to describe the file format, delivery format, or presentation format instead of ''"[[footage]]"'' which is used to distinguish motion photography from ''"[[animation]]"'', motion illustrations. Multiple forms of information content are often not considered multimedia if they don't contain modern forms of presentation such as audio or video. Likewise, single forms of information content with single methods of information processing (e.g. non-interactive audio) are often called multimedia, perhaps to distinguish [[:wiktionary:static|static]] media from [[:wiktionary:active|active]] media.

=====Entertainment and fine arts=====
<!-- Please add bands that have articles to this list. Bands without articles (red links) will be removed. -->
In addition, multimedia is heavily used in the entertainment industry, especially to develop [[special effect]]s in movies and animations. Multimedia games are a popular pastime and are software programs available either as CD-ROMs or online. Some [[video games]] also use multimedia features.
*{{flagicon|Sweden}} [[Tad Morose]]
Multimedia applications that allow users to actively participate instead of just sitting by as passive recipients of information are called ''Interactive Multimedia''.
*{{flagicon|Portugal}} [[Tarantula (band)|Tarantula]]
In the [[Arts]] there are [[multimedia art]]ists, whose minds are able to blend techniques using different media that in some way incorporates interaction with the viewer. One of the most relevant could be [[Peter Greenaway]] who is melding [[Film|Cinema]] with [[Opera]] and all sorts of digital media. Another approach entails the creation of multimedia that can be displayed in a traditional fine arts arena, such as an [[art gallery]]. Although multimedia display material may be volatile, the survivability of the content is as strong as any traditional media. Digital recording material may be just as durable and infinitely reproducible with perfect copies every time.

<!-- Please add bands that have articles to this list. Bands without articles (red links) will be removed. -->
In [[Education]], multimedia is used to produce [[computer-based training]] courses (popularly called CBTs) and reference books like encyclopedia and almanacs. A CBT lets the user go through a series of presentations, text about a particular topic, and associated illustrations in various information formats. [[Edutainment]] is an informal term used to describe combining education with entertainment, especially multimedia entertainment.

Learning theory in the past decade has expanded dramatically because of the introduction of multimedia. Several lines of research have evolved (e.g. [[Cognitive load]], [[Multimedia learning]], and the list goes on). The possibilities for learning and instruction are nearly endless.

==== Industry ====
===Z===
*{{flagicon|US}} [[Zephaniah]]
In the [[Industry|Industrial sector]], multimedia is used as a way to help present information to shareholders, superiors and coworkers. <!-- Besides, other applications also include into this but not limited to [[entertainment]] and [[business]]. -->Multimedia is also helpful for providing employee training, advertising and selling products all over the world via virtually unlimited web-based technologies.
{{col-end}}

==== Mathematical and Scientific Research ====
In [[Mathemetics|Mathematical]] and [[Scientific Research]], multimedia are mainly used for modelling and simulation. For example, a [[scientist]] can look at a [[Molecular modelling|molecular model]] of a particular substance and manipulate it to arrive at a new substance. Representative research can be found in journals such as the [[Journal of Multimedia]].

==== Medicine ====
In [[Medicine]], [[Physician|doctors]] can get trained by looking at a virtual [[surgery]] or they can simulate how the [[human body]] is affected by [[disease]]s spread by [[virus]]es and [[bacterium|bacteria]] and then develop techniques to prevent it.

=== Miscellaneous ===
In Europe, the reference organization for Multimedia industry is the [[European Multimedia Associations Convention]] (EMMAC).

An observatory for jobs in the multimedia industry provides surveys and analysis about multimedia and ITC jobs.[http://www.multimedia-observatory.org]

== Structuring information in a multimedia form ==
Multimedia represents the [[convergence]] of text, pictures, video and sound into a single form. The power of multimedia and the Internet lies in the way in which information is linked.

Multimedia and the Internet require a completely new approach to writing. The style of writing that is appropriate for the 'on-line world' is highly optimized and designed to be able to be quickly scanned by readers. <ref>Stewart, C and Kowaltzke, A. 1997, Media: New Ways and Meanings (second edition), JACARANDa, Milton, Sydney. pp.102.</ref>

A good site must be made with a specific purpose in mind and a site with good interactivity and new technology can also be useful for attracting visitors. The site must be attractive and innovative in its design, function in terms of its purpose, easy to navigate, frequently updated and fast to download. <ref>Jennifer Story, from Next Online,2002.</ref>

When users view a page, they can only view one page at a time. As a result, multimedia users must create a ‘mental model of information structure’.<ref>Lynch P., Yale University Web Style Manual, Http://info.med.yale.edu/caim/manual/sites/site_structure.heml.</ref>

[[Patrick Lynch]], author of the Yale University Web Style Manual, states that users need predictability and structure, with clear functional and graphical continuity between the various components and subsections of the multimedia production. In this way, the home page of any multimedia production should always be a landmark, able to be accessed from anywhere within a multimedia piece.

==Conferences==
There are a large number of multimedia conferences, the two main scholarly scientific conferences being:
*[[ACM Multimedia]];
*[[IEEE ICME]], International Conference on Multimedia & Expo.
