Philips CD-I - Page 5

1-1-2. Application environment
It is difficult to find subjects not suitable for CD-I .
In the ultimate, the scope is limited only by the
boundaries of human imagination, Even when existing
programme material is transferred to CD-I, it takes on
new dimensions, greatly enhancing the printed work,
audio visual programme or computer software of the
original.
A CD-I encyclopedia, for example, offers voyages of
exploration through picture, sound and text databases.
Films, plays, ballet and opera become quite different
on CD-I. The discs can feature critical reviews and
essays, interviews, biographies, scripts, librettos,
all revealing new and often unsuspected aspects.
