I am currently enrolled in a course in which we learn about multimedia/hypermedia applications in geography education. A few times the professor has mentioned 'hypermaps'. After reading here recently several definitions of multimedia and hypermedia, can someone give me one of hypermaps? Thanks. -- Lisa Wolfisch "Life is too short to wear ugly underwear."

-------- When I was working at a museum with an extensive photographic collection, I started thinking about scanning the photographs into a computer and using the images to create a 'four-dimensional' model of the city. That is, you'd have photographic images of the same areas taken at different times, and try to piece them together with old maps to form a model that you could move through geographically (3D) and chronologically (4D). Never really got anywhere, since they didn't have the equipment, but it would be an interesting project. With something like this, you could have hyper-links to textual information, too. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sam Hill Cabal "If there's anything insidious going bwdavies@sunrise.bitnet on in the world, the media is behind bwdavies@rodan.acs.syr.edu it!" -T.J.

Something almost exactly like this has been done a long time ago by the MIT media lab (I think) - refer to the Stewart Brand book about them.
