"The virtual digital domain allows the capture, processing,
transmission, storage, retrieval and display of text, images, audio
and animation, without familiar materials such as paper, celluloid,
magnetic tape and plastic. But moving from these media to the
digital domain introduces all sorts of problems, such as the
conversion of analogue archives, multimedia databases,
content-based retrieval and the design of new content that exploits
the benefits offered by digital systems. It is this issue of
digital content creation that is addressed in this book.
Different aspects of digital content creation are discussed in this
volume, contributed by authors from around the world. Although each
chapter addresses an individual aspect of the digital domain, there
are common threads that unite them into an exciting vision of the
future."
