Winky dinky and you:
"winky-dink and you" was the pioneer in
interactive programming. The core of the program was children sent away for a
kit. The kit had a plastic screen that stuck to the TV tube with static
electricity. Crayons were used to draw on the screen. When a character needed
special help, children would be asked to draw on the screen, give assistance
and free the character from trouble. If a character needed to cross a river
with no bridge, the viewer would draw a line so a crossing could be made and
escape trouble. Jack Barry, the host, emphasized inviting a friend over to
watch the program; sharing in the drawing of assistance was also important.
Everyone watched and helped winky-dinky in his adventures and had fun. Written

Laser disc:
Laserdisc (LD) is a home video format and the first
commercial optical disc storage medium initially licensed, sold, and marketed
as MCA Disco Vision (also known as simply "Disco Vision") in North
America in 1978.
Although the format was capable of offering higher-quality
video and audio than its consumer rivals, the VHS and Betamax videocassette
systems, Laserdisc never managed to gain widespread use in North America,
largely owing to high costs for the players and the video titles themselves.[1]
It also remained a largely obscure format in Europe and Australia. However, it
was much more popular in Japan and in the more affluent regions of South East
Asia, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, being the prevalent rental
video medium in Hong Kong during the 1990s.
The technologies and concepts behind Laserdisc are the
foundation for later optical disc formats, including Compact Disc, DVD, and
Blu-ray Disc.
Interactive T.V. movie:
One of the most advanced experiments in truly interactive
film. Following an introductory scene that sets up the plot and presents
Sophie, the interactive character, a crisis situation appears and the narrative
stops. The viewer is asked a question. He or she has three choices as to how
the story will continue. A few minutes later, the heroine of the film faces a
new crisis and the Web user is again asked to choose what her behavior will be.
The first interactive episode is 19 minutes long. In the pilot, three questions
await the spectator-actor. Each time, he or she can choose among three
attitudes, to be selected with a mouse click. In the end, three totally
different films will be viewed depending on the different paths taken at each
viewing. The filmmakers wrote and shot the three screenplays corresponding to
each question in advance.
DVi (Digital Visual Interface):
Digital Visual Interface (DVI) is a video display interface
developed by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG). The digital interface is
used to connect a video source to a display device, such as a computer monitor.
DVI was developed to create an industry standard for the
transfer of digital video content. The interface is designed to transmit
uncompressed digital video and can be configured to support multiple modes such
as DVI-D (digital only), DVI-A (analog only), or DVI-I (digital and analog).
Featuring support for analog connections as well, the DVI specification
provides optional compatibility with the VGA interface. This compatibility
along with other advantages led to widespread acceptance in the PC industry
over other competing digital standards such as Plug and Display (P&D) and
Digital Flat Panel (DFP). Though predominantly found in computer devices, DVI
is also present in some consumer electronics such as television sets, although
most newer sets only offer HDMI all-digital connectors.
