Avatar NuMedia

What's an Avatar anyway?

AVATAR: av/a/tar - noun 1. The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form. 2. An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning (Guess which definition we are using!)

NUMEDIA: new/me/dia - noun 1. The new buzzword for programs that combine sound, graphics, video, animation, and text to communicate and entertain. NuMedia programs can be played back in a linear fashion as in video tape or on a computer, allowing the user to interact with the program in a non-linear fashion.
