T.V. LEAFLET PRESENTATION
by John A. Smith
The Housing and Health Unit has developed a "T.V. Leaflet"
Presentation which it was planned would go on tour round the Area Housing
Offices.
The T.V. Leaflet comprises the following, an Amiga A1200 personal
computer running Scala Multimedia, and a Samsung T.V. It provides Information
on the Housing and Health Unit, Medical Advisory service, Adaptations -
(criteria, procedures, types of adaptations, statistics etc), and Disability
Services.
Information and pictures stored in the computer are displayed on
the T.V. screen in an attractive and readable form. The first page is a list of
subjects covered, you move a pointer round the screen with the computer's
mouse, and click on "buttons" to display the information you wish to see. More
"buttons" are displayed, (in the form of a table of contents), which you may
click on to see the information you want.
The T.V. Leaflet was developed from a system set up by the
Adaptations Service when it was part of Disability Services, therefore a fair
amount of updating of the information was required.
Unfortunately the system was little used, and is now unlikely to
be used as Kirklees have created an Intranet system which should in the future
have the capability to make multimedia presentations available on any computer
connected to the Kirklees network. |
