Abstract :
It is pointed out that the design of a network-based interactive multimedia application depends on the characteristics of the network, the modes of user interaction and the media types that will be used. Careful selection of these elements in the design process is needed to create successful applications. The characteristics of network-based interactive media applications interact to provide various qualities of service to the user. Several examples of previously built network-based interactive multimedia systems are presented, including a kiosk-based system delivering information about a trade show, a system delivering world news and electronic mail and a system assisting doctors during childbirth.<>
