This week in ... THE COMPUTER PROGRAMME
“Sound and Moving Pictures” is the title of the sixth programme in the BBC series, “The Computer Programme,” on TVI tomorrow night. Future computer screens are probably not going to be full of numbers and letters but sound and moving pictures, and here we discover computer animation and art.
Computer pictures are nothing but numbers which are stored and can be manipulated to create all kinds of novel effects, different points of view and unusual perspectives, all with a computer’s usual speed and accuracy. Gill takes us to the Royal College of Art, where a student solved with a computer the practical problem of graphically presenting bus routes.
Computer modelling programs designed for the business world are looked at, and Chris demonstrates voice synthesisers and ponders the potential of speech recognition by a computer.
