Abstract

Reviews Encyclopedia Britannica Online ($80) from Britannica, and Encarta Concise Encyclopedia (free) from Microsoft. Britannica has more than 12.000 illustrations of high quality, excellent maps, and 60 multimedia elements including sound, video, and animation. It could be improved by enabling illustrations to be used as filtering criteria for searches, and the QuickTime multimedia format is too slow for the content. Encarta has 16.000 articles, 1.678 photographs, 408 dynamic maps, and a wealth of other features. There are no audio clips, collages, virtual tours, or panoramic views, and check boxes would be more convenient than radio buttons in the interface. Includes 2 screen displays

Abstract: Real multimedia with full motion, full screen video, integrated with CD-audio quality sound, photo-realistic images and good text does not yet exist. Reviews in terms of quantity and quality existing products some of which might be better named quasi multimedia or illustrated databases. However, hardware and software now being developed for high quality sound should allow products with faster storage and transmission to be marketed at half present prices within 1 year
