Illusions

As we were talking about senses in the seminar yesterday, it reminded me the TV program called "Horizon" I was watching on Monday on BBC 2.

Is Seeing Believing? Interactive Experience


I found it interesting when I think about how our senses work after watching this program. Our senses work separately yet together to enable us to define information we receive. The ways we think, reason and act can be changed by different senses. And I think this could be applied to our multimedia field too. I believe in the future time, there will be more 3D devices within our lives, products like 3D computers and mobiles, and maybe 3D glasses are no longer needed for seeing 3D images or movies. Maybe even 4D products is coming, with our senses like smelling food from a movie? 



Because our senses work together, although visual design is the most important element in web design, sound effect plays an major part too. If the right sound/music is playing, they can add effective impact to the audience while they are looking through a website. It keeps the audience's attention on the site and maybe concentration too. 

Since scientists are working on developing a new sense on human body, I believe there are a lot more interactivity will be developed with the multimedia industry in the future as well.
