MediaView: A General Multimedia Digital Publication System
Excerpt:
MediaView is a multimedia digital publication system that was
designed to be flexible and free from restrictions. It was also
designed to take maximum advantage of the media-rich hardware and
software capabilities of the NeXT [5] computer, especially the
features of the NeXTdimension [17] subsystem. Rather than emphasize the
work that is almost always paired with multimedia, presentation,
MediaView emphasizes communication. The system does not tacitly impose
the "publisher's" agenda on the reader, but structure and sequencing
can be overlaid if appropriate. The result is a very general system
free of artificial structure and inconvenient metaphors.
