“…In addition, the Andrew Toolkit is being developed at Carnegie Mellon University for several platforms (Palay et al, 1988). At the human-interface level (see section 5 for details): cross-media links (Parkes, 1991), dynamic presentation (Alty and McCartney, 1991), hypermedia (Laurel et al, 1990).…”

“…For example, people's views of different media influence their belief in the information that is presented; users are engaged by video imagery but question its validity (Laurel et al, 1990). Although some work in this area is proceeding, as in the PROMISE project which is developing a multimedia resource-scheduling system (Alty and McCartney, 1991) for use in process-control environments where the media types cannot be predetermined, there is generally too little effort in this area.…”

An analysis of media integration for spatial planning environments

1994

A fundamental concept with multimedia systems is that of 'seamless integration' of various media types. The concept is analysed in the context of spatial planning environments. After traditional uses of various media and the relationships between those media have been surveyed, the implications of media integration for the planning and design process are examined. The benefits are described implicitly, enabling a single plan to be viewed from different perspectives. At the technological level, this is related to the integration of design-planning teams and the integration of different phases of the design and planning cycle. The state of the art in multimedia integration is described and it is shown that a technological perspective on integration is restrictive because of its neglect of human factors. A system is proposed which might deliver the flexibility required by contemporary design-planning teams.
