The term "multimedia" was known -- I
remember suffering through some bad
performance art back then. And the MindSet PC (1984) was positioned as a
graphics and sound machine to differentiate it from IBM, but the Amiga did
a better job (I bought mine to play with computer music).
In 1970 a college art prof told me that "multimedia" is 2 or more Kodak
Carousel projectors plus a sound track. In response to questions he did
insist that no substitutions were permitted.
In 1979 I used the cassette relay of a TRS-80 model 1 to advance slides
on a Carousel. But it was only one. I've never had a "multimedia" system.
Has "multimedia" changed since then :-?
Now all of the hype is "3D". I have used some 3D illusion systems, such
as StereoGraphics. But all of the "3D" stuff that is being hyped is on
purely two dimensional video monitors. What's going on?
Can anyone explain to me in what way a processor is "3D"??
