Multimedia creates understanding: Universities and museums,
entertainment parks and the media industry, schools and further educational
institutions,
authorities and administrations – all these use multimedia
to present information and entertainment. Modern information and
communication technologies form the basis for new, innovative products
and services.
New Opportunities for Education
A school trip to see the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world need not remain
an unfulfilled dream for children, even in times of short funds and busy timetables.
Modern technologies bring the dinosaur into the middle of the classroom, perhaps
even bringing it to virtual life. There is therefore a great market potential
for applications that provide learning contents in the field of »edutainment«.
The Fraunhofer Information and Communication Technology Group (ICT) combines
innovative technologies and visionary ideas for marketable applications in
its »Culture and Entertainment« business area. It allows a wider
public to be better provided with complex knowledge, possibly from different
cultures, through digitalisation and documentation with other multimedia contents
such as pictures, texts and videos than has usually been the case until now.
Even the most difficult contents can be provided successfully through interactive,
fun concepts.
