Multimedia technology applications
Graphics processing is an applied technology for multimedia expressions.
Graphics processing involves the use of computers to create images and
videos, and add sound and other effects to artificially create a sense of realism. It is used in games and other forms of entertainment as well as various professional training programs.
The typical forms of graphics processing are summarized below.

(1)Computer graphics (CG)
“Computer graphics” refers to the technology for processing and generating images and videos using a computer or the images and videos themselves.
Computers are used to create images of imaginary objects and scenes, or
to add special effects.
Computer graphics can be either two- or three-dimensional representations.
Two-dimensional representations are used in tablet paintings, photographic
image processing, etc.
Three-dimensional representations are used to create virtual worlds for
video games, simulations of future urban landscapes, CAD-based industrial designs, etc.
(2)Virtual reality (VR)
“Virtual reality” refers to the technology for creating an artificial (virtual)
reality by combining computer graphics with sound effects.
People can experience virtual realities like far-removed worlds, past and
future locations, etc., as if they were actually there, while not setting foot
outside their current location.
