Introduction Of Media Interactive (ENTRY 1)

Definition of 'Interactive Media' is a method of communication in which the program's outputs depend on the user's inputs, and the user's inputs in turn affect the program's outputs. Interactive media engage the user and interact with him or her in a way that non-interactive media do not. Websites and video games are two common types of interactive media. Movies and most TV shows are generally not considered interactive media; however, shows that require audience participation could be considered interactive media.


By this Investopedia explains 'Interactive Media' is social networking websites are an example of interactive media. The sites use graphics and text to allow users to share photos and information about themselves, chat and play games. Video games are another type of interactive media. Players use controllers to respond to visual and sound cues on the screen that are generated by a computer program. 


Interactive media normally refers to products and services on digital computer-based systems which respond to the user’s actions by presenting content such as text, graphics, animation, video, audio, games and so on. Interactive Media Studies is an interdisciplinary program that brings together students and faculty throughout the university to investigate how interactive media informs and transforms their disciplinary perspective. Through this problem-based learning and team-oriented projects, students learn how to apply their theoretical knowledge to innovative digital solutions.

Advance Interactive Media said that "I believe that Interactive Media is the most wide range type of media possible. There is no limit to what you can do in interactive media. All types of avenues such as web design, web development World Wide Web, Internet forums, computer games, online games, interactive television, e-Mail and electronic literature and many other sources of media apply. One of the benefits of interactive media is that the technologies of it are always emerging. It does not stay at a stand still because there is no definite measure of interactive media. Many times, clients have changing views for what they want for their product and being the developer for the product as an interactive developer, this makes it that much more difficult. I assume that in other forms of media it is more clear cut in the sense that you have a need and without little trouble, the product is developed. In conclusion, if you crave to be creative in what you do or want to pursue, then interactive is the way to go!"So do you agree this statement??

Interactive media is related to the concepts interaction designnew mediainteractivityhuman computer interactioncyberculturedigital culture, and includes specific cases such as, for example, interactive televisioninteractive narrativeinteractive advertising, videogamessocial mediaambient intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality.

Topic that students study in Interactive Media course include Media Technologies, Interactive Media Communications, Digital Games, Interactive TV,   Social Media,  Interactive Advertising,  Virtual Reality (VR), and  Issues in Interactive Media.The course will also give students the opportunity to appreciate the work of other designers and to learn about associated professional practice.

Introduction to Interactive Media  is a practical, introductory course to the world of interactive and digital media. The focus will be on creating interactive experiences that are both functional and engaging. This will be approached from various points-of-view: design, usability, technique, and entertainment and gaming. 

Firstly,Interactive media design in the context of historical and contemporary trends and ideas. Drawing on digital humanities, critical design, philosophical, and cultural perspectives,moreover this can explore how relationships between human and machine, and society and technology, inform and inspire design strategies, and provide new ways to understand interactive media. Secondly,Interactive media design from the perspective of users as the purpose for the activity of designing. Touch on more advanced issues such as representation and interactivity by exploring the ways in which various fields such as human-computer interaction, computer games, and interactive art and entertainment view users and interactive media design.Thirdly, interactive media design through the process of creation and reflecting on what has been created.  Through hands-on design work, the study of related readings and works, and the writing of critical reflections, students will learn about relevant design issues that arise for different domains, platforms, and interface modalities. 

Other than that,Interactive Media Design and Usability can introduces students to the tools and concepts of user interface user interface design, combined with a method of project development utilizing an industry-proven production process. The course explores both behavioral and structural patterns of user interface design along with information architecture for interactive deployment, user navigation techniques, and page layout for the interactive medium. Students will gain an extensive knowledge of usability patterns as well as production methodologies as they implement project documentation for the milestones of a user interface design.

Moreover,the Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association also was founded to foster cooperation between the online gaming industry and government at all levels, and to promote innovation, openness and freedom on the Internet.
