Abstract

The multimedia contents which allow users to sense a daily, monthly and yearly change of natural environment in the Tokyo University forest in Chichibu, Japan, were produced by the forest environment monitoring video data. The authors developed three types of digital contents, namely (1) A Paper printed calendar which allows users to look at the scenery of the forest at a glance. (2) A DVD (Digital Video Disk) which provides a high-resolution forest video images with high quality environmental sounds of the forest with user-friendly operation. (3) A web site that allows users to download the PDF file of (1) to make the calendar and get the information how to obtain the DVD, and also to play a movie to see a monthly change of the forest landscape with sound. Through this production, the process of multimedia contents production was clarified and the feasibility of media mix method was examined. This kind of multimeda contents is considered user-oriented, as user can further develop the meaning and usage of it by themselves. A further study in this field will help to develop environmental learning materials with which the users can sense time changes by forest video data.
