Interpersonal multimedia visualization system.

摘要

Media View is a computer program that provides a generic infrastructure for authoring and interacting with multimedia documents. Among its many applications is the ability to furnish a user with a comprehensive environment for analysis and visualization. With MediaView the user produces a ''document'' that contains mathematics, datasets and associated visualizations. From the dataset or embedded mathematics animated sequences can be produced in situ. The mathematical content of the ''document'' can be explored through manipulation with Mathematica (trademark). Since the ''document'' is all digital, it can be shared with a co-worker on a local network or mailed electronically to a colleague at a distant site. Animations and any other substructure of the ''document'' persist through the mailing process and can be awakened at the destination by the recipient. 5 refs., 4 figs.
