BSc Multimedia Computing

Objectives There are many definitions of multimedia. These include references to interactivity, moving image (animation and video), sound, virtual reality, digital media, and entertainment systems including those provided by computer games consoles. Previously, computer systems have relied on text as the sole means of conveying information. Now, they too are making increasing use of sound and non-textual images to convey information. Most would acknowledge that the creation of contemporary multimedia computing involves a process that interweaves aspects of both art and science.
