----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Interactive Multimedia presentation of the Territorial Evolution of Canada An interactive multimedia package of the changes of the political boundaries of Canada is available for the Macintosh and soon for the IBM-PC compatible computers (the latter is at the beta testing stage). The changes to Canada's political boundaries unfold through the use of electronic maps and graphic displays. The package was developed based on map animation techniques and the hypermedia concept. The package contains maps of Canada, the provinces and the territories as they appeared at various times, as well as desriptions of the events that led to the boundary changes. All maps are integrated with multimedia information (text, still/animated images and sound). Through the use of animation, the user can control motion pictures (i.e. view, pause, restart, and progress map-by-map), and reconstruct the evolution of individual provinces and territories. The user can also consult text on events and access a glossary on related information. The interactive multimedia package was developed by the Canada Centre of Mapping, EMR Canada in cooperation with Sanctuary Woods, a multimedia Ottawa based company. The package is distributed by Products and Services Division Surveys, Mapping and Remote Sensing Sector EMR Canada 615 Booth St. Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1A 0E9 Attention: Daniel S.C.
