Audio-visual
Encyclopedia
The term Audio-Visual may refer to works with both a sound
and a visual component, the production or use of such works, or to equipment used to create and present such works. Slide tape presentation, films and television program
are examples of audio-visual presentations.
Once audio-visual media came into existence, it became a part of people's everyday lives within a few decades.
Business presentations are also usually audio-visual. In a typical presentation, the presenter provides the audio by speaking, and supplements it with a series of images projected onto a screen, either from a slide projector
, or from a computer connected to a projector
using a presentation program
(software).
In the developed world, there has been a huge uptake of computer-based audio-visual equipment in the education sector, with many schools and higher educational establishments installing projection equipment and often using interactive whiteboard technology.
