Limitations to interactivity
Interactive Media / March, 2014 3
There are a few drawbacks to interactive media that make it unattractive to some. One of these drawbacks include the size of the files. As they are interactive they are generally pretty big which means they take up a lot of memory. Also as they are big they have a large download time which is a huge disadvantage as people dont like to wait. Another negative aspect is that PCs or mobile devices require specifc plug ins to be able to view any interactive kind of media and if they dont have it then the interactive media becomes unavailable to them. This kind of limits the target audience.
