Tools of the Trade

Multimedia wouldn't be possible without the right tools, and you can find links to the tools used in the workshops and at the CyberCafe here.


QuickTime
Apple's run-time technology for the playback of dynamic data (animations, video, sounds, and music) is QuickTime. It's an open standard supported by hundreds of tools and it provides developers with the ability to play back on both Mac OS and Windows platforms.

QuickTime VR
QuickTimeVR delivers Virtual Reality in both panoramas and objects. In panoramas, you can look up and down, turn around, zoom in to see detail, or zoom out for a broader view. Objects are interactive. By clicking and dragging, you examine things like the sculptures in a museum or the merchandise in a store. See example scenes and objects in three dimensions or peruse developer information and descriptions of the technology.

QuickTime Conferencing
QuickTime Conferencing is Apple's cross-platform, standards-compliant videoconferencing and collaboration software solution. QuickTime Conferencing enables you to be more productive, whether working with someone down the hall or around the world. It increases the richness of the communication: you can see and hear your colleagues, exchange information, and work on documents simultaneously.

Apple Script
Hypercard
