Design Considerations for Interactive Videodisc

Despite a decade of experience in the use of interactive videodisc in the exhibit setting, we have very little systematic knowledge of what constitutes a successful application of videodisc. Broadly defined, much of the analysis that does exist concerns itself with technical considerations such as the clarity of the screen layout, ways to deal with multiple users, and so forth. However, in this...

Software for the Leicester Interactive Videodisc project

Interactive videodisc technology is ideal for developing the skills of interpreting visual material which are so fundamentally important in archaeology but which all too frequently can not feasibly be taught in the field or by handling actual objects.
