A unique reference book for all those using electronic media, The Cyberspace Lexicon provides a much-needed guide through the maze of existing and emerging technologies. From interactive video and multimedia through to hypermedia, arcade games, high-band networks and virtual reality, this book explains all the essential concepts and technical terms. Techniques and technologies are defined, key concepts are explained, and 'buzzwords' are clarified. In-depth illustrated features covering major issues complement clear, concise entries designed for quick reference. With numerous colour illustrations showing the latest programs and applications, this is an invaluable sourcebook for any media professional or student.
