- Summary
- Contextual Media expands upon the theme of social construction of knowledge developed in Edward Barrett's three previous volumes.
- The thirteen contributions focus on specific applications of multimedia technology to cultural institutions such as museums, universities, or corporate environments; they analyze narrative and other navigational structures in various interactive multimedia systems and make recommendations for the design of future systems based on these analyses; and they present innovative uses of multimedia that break out of the confines of a single terminal to develop interactive transformational environments.
