Example of an MP3 Player   (MP3s are music files)

Example of a Musical Instrument Digital Interface.  "An MIDI is a standard that allows a computer to control a musical instrument" (Weixel. 2017). No music files are stored in a file. Instead, instrumental sounds are synthesized or created in real-time. An example of this is an electronic keyboard. 


Example of an MPEG-2   

"MPEGs are used to display video, animations, and recorded television broadcasts" (Weixel, 2017).

Interactive Media

Shockwave and Adobe Flash are programs that allow a computer user to play video games on the PC.  Today's gaming consoles, with all of their computer processing power, however, use the Unreal Engine 5 to produce some of the most sophisticated graphics in the industry.

Ch21 Principles of Info Tech

Virtual Reality has many useful applications that can enrich the ways that people work on their projects. In this picture a couple of engineers put on a virtual reality headset to examine the infrastructure of  an urban city. 

The gaming experiences provided by Virtual Reality allows users to become immersed in the gaming  experience. 

In this picture, surgeons practice their skills using Virtual Reality headsets. This gives them a safe way to refine their skills, without putting patients at risk.
