CMPUT 301: Lecture 34Networks, Hypertext, Multimedia, and the Web Martin Jagersand Department of Computing Science University of Alberta Based on notes from Pierre Boulanger, Ken Wong, Martin Jagersand
The WEB • Many servers, many content providers • Loosely connected database • Many formats, types of data • Overwhelming?!?
The WEBContent Design • Text: • Linear text • Hypertext, frames, navigability aids • Multimedia: • sound • images • Animation, video • 3D • Interaction, remote control, meetings
Page Design • Cross-platform design: • many platforms • cell phone, handheld, notebook, desktop, high-end workstation, Networked meeting rooms, 3D Viz room • various versions of browsers • collect them all • WYSIWYG • he’s dead, Jim
Text • Issue: • imposes a strict, linear progression on the reader, according to the author’s ideas of what is best
Hypertext and Hypermedia • What: • non-linear structuring of information • traversed in many different ways • chunks of media • e.g., text, graphic, movie, voice, sound, etc. • links between chunks • e.g., technical terms, hotspots
Hypertext and Hypermedia • What are some problems or issues for hypertext or hypermedia systems?
Hypertext and Hypermedia • Some issues: • “lost in space” syndrome • presenting context • determining coverage • printing the content • supporting tours
Current Technologies: web browser web server HTTP HTML CSS CGI Javascript Java plug-ins SGML XML MathML XHTML DOM XSL … World Wide Web
IIRO Project • Interactive Intelligent Remote Operations
Objectives of the IIRO Project • One of the goals of this project is to demonstrate that safe, effective, and reliable monitoring and control of mine operations can be performed over satellite and terrestrial communication links (including the Internet), using models created from various sensors located in a mine.
Athabasca Oil Sand Deposit Surface mineable Athabasca Syncrude Suncor Fort McMurray Peace River Cold Lake Edmonton Lloydminster Calgary Province of Alberta The Oil Sands of Alberta contain 1800 billionbarrels of bitumen. Syncrude leases contain 8 billion barrels of recoverable reserves.

Goal of project ROSA • The goal of project ROSA (Robotic Operation with Supervised Autonomy) is to develop and demonstrate that intelligent systems technologies can provide remote robotic equipment with local intelligence capabilities for ground control of space systems.

VR Tour: Tomb of Tutankhamum The VR tour shows visitors the Tomb as they would experience it today.
CMC 3-D Virtual Reality Theatre • Features: • Seating for 20-25 visitors • 3 m x 4.6 m (10’x15’) screen • Electrohome projector • SGI Onyx 2 Reality computer • Passive polarizing glasses • “VR Tour Guide” hosts
Digital Repatriation A replica of Tutankhamun’s mask was scanned and the 3-D model inserted into the tomb model.
