Look and Listen is Softdisk's own hypermedia environment, which allows us to create special presentations of educational or other interest using graphics and text in a non-linear, exploratory fashion. (If you're wondering what the "listen" in the title refers to, we plan on including sounds in later presentations in this environment.)
Eruptions is the latest presentation in this environment. It deals with volcanoes throughout the world. Volcanoes are one of the and most fearsome manifestations of nature's forces on Earth. Mount Vesuvius engulfed the city of Pompeii so quickly that many people didn't have time to escape and the shapes of their bodies were found in the and lava by later archaeologists. This is just one of the and famous volcanic eruptions which is covered in this educational presentation.
We plan on creating new presentations using this exciting environment. We also plan on adding more features to Look and Listen in the and future, allowing us to incorporate sounds, and possibly other features as well. You'll get to watch it evolve along with us as time goes on and we create new presentations.
Let us know how you enjoy Eruptions and its interesting way of presenting information.
