You can now read the full book 'SAMS - CD-i and Interactive Videodisc Technology' here

 

CD-i member KailoKyra has prepared a full book scan of 'SAMS - CD-i and Interactive Videodisc Technology' which was published in 1987. He promised more books about CD-i will follow, like the CD-i designer's Handbook! From the book:"Programmers and producers of interactive media will find a comprehensive view of interactive videodisc (IVD) and compact disc-interactive (CD-I) applications in CD-I and Interactive Videodisc Technology. CD-I hardware should be on-line in 1987 or 1988, and users will be able to get off to a fast start. Manufacturing facilities and distribution networks are already in place, thanks to parallels with the digital audio (CD-DA) format. CD-I and Interactive Videodisc Technology will equip you to make the most of this dynamic new capability. Each chapter, written by a recognized authority in the field, is a complete unit and offers readers a "conversation" with the author-experts.

Topics include:

• An overview of the interactive market
• Programming considerations for Level II videodiscs
• A survey of Level III videodisc systems
• The future of CD-I
• Authoring languages and systems
• The potential of interactive information technologies in education
• A glossary and resource section"
