    Prerequisite: CIS 601 (Object-Oriented Programming) or equivalent. Multimedia software systems incorporate various media, such as text, images, video and audio, to provide rich experiences for users. This is a course in the design, implementation and evaluation of multimedia systems. The course has three major content areas and goals: (1) multimedia data types-the goal being to understand the development and use of various multimedia data types; (2) usability and user modeling-the goal being to incorporate theories of human perception and cognition into the design and evaluation of multimedia systems; and (3) multimedia design and software tools-the goals being to plan and develop multimedia projects and to be aware of ways in which multimedia is being used in the public and private sectors. Both terms must be completed to receive credit toward the history requirement. Effective Until: Summer 2006
  • 3.00 Credits

    Prerequisite: CIS 505. Fundamentals of image processing, analysis and understanding.
