Introduction to Multimedia Systems (Enhanced Edition‪)‬

We perceive the universe through our senses. These senses—sight and hearing among them—
are brought into play as soon as we interact with our surroundings. Our sensory organs send
signals to the brain, which constructs an interpretation of this interaction. The process of
communication, of sending messages from one person to another, is dependent on our
understanding of the senses. In general, the more information that is perceived by the receiver,
the more likely it is that an effective communication will take place.
