Week 8 - Multimedia


Check out the new interactive PlayStation 4 by Sony! Warning: you would totally wanna get one after watching the video cause I know what I want for Christmas already. 

augmented reality
noun
  1. 1.
    a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view.

The above video is therefore considered as augmented reality. Its basically interacting with cute little robots besides the playing of video games on the playstation. 

Multimedia has came a long way from the pixelated consoles such as the Atari 2600 that came from the 1970s which feature games that requires the imagination of the players to think what each pixel represents, to Nintendo Entertainment System which has cartoon like graphics and bit sounds and now, the Playstation 4 which exceeds what we had never expected multimedia could have ever achieved. It not only features interactive motion detectors, but it can also play games that has graphics that is life-like and also produces tremendous sound quality. I am thoroughly impressed how far multimedia has come. 





First: some video game in Atari 2600
Second: Mario Brothers game 
Third: Call of Duty. 
Fourth: The Last of Us

Look at how the graphics of multi media has evolved over the years. See how realistic the faces of the characters are in the Last of Us.

Dont you want your own PS4 now?
Till next time.

  1. I agree that game graphics has come a really long way. It is really realistic nowadays and not to mention the realism of the game play. I really appreciate the effort put into creating this games. They even have this game where the bullets holes are different every time! Soon there will be realistic game play such as surround system. And that would really bring multimedia and entertainment to a whole new level.
