Multimedia is the integrated use of more than one type of media, such as text, graphics, video, animation, and sound. Web-based multimedia refers to multimedia located on Web pages. Multimedia applications are usually interactive. With today’s fast computers and Internet connections, multimedia applications are frequently used on Web pages, such as for information delivery, e-commerce, and entertainment purposes. Some Web pages today use virtual reality (VR) to create environments that look like they do in the real world. Because multimedia is such an integral component of the Web today, it is important for both businesses and individuals to understand the characteristics of the various types of multimedia elements and the impact of adding them to a Web site.
