Abstract:
This chapter presents a theoretical approach to a range of topics related to multimedia and hypermedia technologies. It begins by defining key terms related to media and intermedia communication. Next, it describes the main functional and technical characteristics of multimedia and their structural components, such as various forms of digital content and interactive elements. The chapter then analyzes the architectural structures and categorization of multimedia in terms of application architecture, involved software and hardware, distribution channels, and thematic classification, along with the specific requirements and specifications of each category. In addition, it outlines the main development phases and key contributors in a multimedia production. The chapter concludes with examples of non-linear multimedia narratives designed to enhance understanding, present current trends, and provide an overall overview of the current landscape. The goal is to offer a smooth introduction for the general reader, helping them become familiar with multimedia technologies and terminology, without delving into extensive descriptions or complex analyses.
