Types of Interactive Multimedia Applications:

1.

Menu driven programs/presentations

- often a hierarchical structure (main menu, sub-menus, ...)

2.

Hypermedia

+: less structured, cross-links between subsections of the same subject -> non-linear, quick access to information +: easier for introducing more multimedia features, e.g., more interesting "buttons"

-: could sometimes get lost in navigating the hypermedia

3.

Simulations / Performance-dependent Simulations

- e.g., Games - SimCity, Flight Simulators
