RMAN DESMARAIS.. ALL RIGHTS RESER
VED... PUBLISHED BY. VIK
ING TECHNOLOGIES, INC.. AT THE MICRO
SOFT CONFERENCE BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 1986
, THE HIGH SIERRA GROUP WAS PREPARING TO
PUBLISH ITS PROPOSED STANDARD FOR A NEW
VOLUME AND FILE STRUCTURE USING CURRENT
CD-ROM TECHNOLOGY WHEN THE COMPUTER WOR
LD WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE. IN A JOINT DI
SCLOSURE TO THE CONFERENCE, THE ORIGINAL
LICENSEES OF CD AUDIO AND CD-ROM FORMAT
S, PHILIPS AND SONY, ANNOUNCED STANDARDS
FOR THEIR OWN NEW FORMAT, CD-I (COMPACT
DISK-INTERACTIVE)... THE ANNOUNCEME
NT SENT SHOCK WAVES THROUGHOUT THE FLEDG
LING INDUSTRY. FEARING THE NEW FORMAT MI
GHT CREATE CONFUSION IN THE MARKETPLACE,
MANY MANUFACTURERS PLACED THEIR CURRENT
PROJECTS ON HOLD UNTIL THEY COULD DETER
MINE HOW THE VARIOUS FORMATS WOULD RELAT
E TO EACH OTHER. EVEN THE HIGH SIERRA G
ROUP DELAYED PUBLICATION OF ITS PROPOSED
CD-ROM STANDARD UNTIL JULY SO IT COULD
RESOLVE ANY POTENTIAL CONFLICTS BETWEEN
THE TWO FORMATS... THIS NEW FORMAT,
CD-I, CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS A COMPACT VER
SION OF THE INTERACTIVE VIDEODISK WHICH
HAS BEEN USED IN EDUCATIONAL AND INDUSTR
IAL TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
RECENTLY, VIDEODISKS HAVE APPEARED IN
INFORMATION KIOSKS FOUND IN SHOPPING MAL
LS, PROVIDING DIRECTIONS OR OTHER INFORM
ATION TO THE PATRONS OF THE STORES. THE
Y HAVE ALSO BEEN USED IN VIDEO MERCHANDI
SE CATALOGS AND IN POINT OF PURCHASE SYS
TEMS TO RECORD PRODUCT ORDERS. THE COMP
UTER-BASED INFORMATION SYSTEM AT EPCOT C
ENTER MAKES EXTENSIVE USE OF INTERACTIVE
VIDEODISKS... CD-I WILL PROVIDE THE
SAME CAPABILITIES AS THE VIDEODISKS, ON
LY ON A SMALLER SCALE. USING A 4.72 INC
H DISK INSTEAD OF A 12 INCH DISK, CD-I W
ILL ALLOW THE INTEGRATION OF DIGITIZED A
UDIO, GRAPHICS, AND DATA, ALL ON THE SAM
E DISK... SINCE PHILIPS AND SONY ANN
OUNCED CD-I SO EARLY IN THE EVOLUTION OF
THE NEW TECHNOLOGY, DEVELOPER INTEREST
HAS GREATLY PRECEEDED THE AVAILABILITY O
F DEVELOPMENTAL TOOLS. AS A RESULT, MAN
Y OF THE EARLY DISKS WILL NOT REFLECT TH
E FULL POTENTIAL OF THE MEDIUM. NEVERTH
ELESS, WE CAN EXPECT SOME PRODUCTS TO BE
GIN SHOWING UP IN THE MARKETPLACE IN 198
8 OR 1989, WITH PROTOTYPE DRIVES ARRIVIN
G SOMETIME LATE IN 1987... APPARENTL
Y THE NEW FORMAT IS NOT EXPECTED TO REND
ER CURRENT CD AUDIO AND CD-ROM APPLICATI
ONS OBSOLETE. EXECUTIVES AT BOTH PHILIP
S AND SONY ARE CAREFUL TO CLASSIFY IT AS
A PRODUCT UPGRADE, WITH CURRENT CD AUDI
O PLAYERS AND CD-ROM DRIVES ABLE TO PLAY
THE NEW DISKS THROUGH THE USE OF A "BLA
CK BOX" INTERFACE. THUS, CD-I WOULD BE
BACKWARDLY COMPATIBLE WITH CD-ROM AND CO
ULD BE USED AS A CD-ROM DRIVE... THE
CD-I DRIVE, AN ENHANCED VERSION OF THE
COMPACT AUDIO DISK PLAYER, WILL BE ABLE
TO HANDLE A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FORMATS
:... AUDIO- BOTH DIGITAL AND.
VOICE-GRADE WITH FOUR. DISTIN
CT QUALITY. LEVELS: LP RECORD,.
FM RADIO, AM RADIO,.
AND TELEPHONE...... GRAPHICS- STANDAR
D AND HIGH. RESOLUTION DIGITAL.
COLOR PICTURES AND. A
NIMATION... DIGITAL DATA- SONG LYRICS
,. TEXT, INTERACTIVE.
TRAINING, GAMES, AND. COMPUTER
SOFTWARE..... THE NEW DRIVES WILL BE
RUN BY A MOTOROLA 68000 MICROPROCESSOR
WITH ONE-HALF MEGABYTE OF RANDOM ACCESS
MEMORY. THERE WILL BE AN OPERATING SYST
EM INSTALLED TO RUN THE CHIP, IN EFFECT
MAKING THE DRIVE A COMPUTER CAPABLE OF R
UNNING CD-I APPLICATIONS SOFTWARE. EMIE
L PETRONE, VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING A
ND PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR AMERICAN INTERAC
TIVE MEDIA, INC., SAYS WE CAN EXPECT THE
FIRST GENERATION OF CD-I PLAYERS TO RET
AIL FOR ABOUT $1500... SOFTWARE PRIC
ES WILL VARY GREATLY, DEPENDING ON THE C
OMPLEXITY OF THE PROGRAM, WITH MOST GUES
SES RANGING FROM $19 TO $60 PER DISK. H
ARDWARE ADAPTERS FOR CONVERTING COMPACT
DISK AUDIO PLAYERS WITH DIGITAL DATA OUT
PUT JACKS INTO CD-I DRIVES WILL BE AVAIL
ABLE FOR ABOUT $200. USERS WILL ALSO BE
ABLE TO INPUT DATA FROM OTHER EXTERNAL
SOURCES (A KEYBOARD OR MOUSE, FOR INSTAN
CE) AND DIRECT OUTPUT TO A STANDARD TELE
VISION (PREFERABLY COLOR), STEREO AMPLIF
IER, OR MICROCOMPUTER... SOME ANALYS
TS BELIEVE THAT CD-I WILL FIND ITS MAJOR
APPLICATION IN THE LINE OF INTERACTIVE
VIDEO GAMES AND OTHER INTERACTIVE CONSUM
ER SERVICES. ONE POSSIBILITY IS A CATAL
OGING SYSTEM WHICH COULD PRESENT VARIOUS
COMBINATIONS OF CLOTHING, SHOWING HOW T
HE COLORS AND STYLES COMPLEMENT EACH OTH
ER. ONE SUCH SYSTEM, THE "RETAILER'S AS
SISTANT", ZEROES IN ON INDIVIDUAL PREFER
ENCES, DISPLAYING PRODUCTS A CUSTOMER MA
Y WISH TO PURCHASE, SUGGESTING RELATED I
TEMS AND ACCESSORIES, AND DIRECTING HIM
OR HER TO THE APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENT OR
ORDER CLERK... THE SYSTEM IS ABLE TO
IDENTIFY, PRESENT, DEMONSTRATE, PROMOTE
, AND COMPARE PRODUCTS; INDICATE THE PRO
DUCT'S LOCATION IN THE STORE; PROVIDE GI
FT AND PERSONAL SHOPPING ADVICE; AND HEL
P IN PRODUCT MARKET RESEARCH... INDU
STRY ANALYSTS PREDICT EDUCATION WILL ALS
O BECOME A STRONG MARKET FOR CD-I. INTE
RACTIVE GAMING WILL PRODUCE SPINOFF "EDU
TAINMENT" DISKS, PROVIDING AN ENTERTAINI
NG MEANS OF ACQUIRING NEW KNOWLEDGE. TH
E DISKS WOULD BECOME TALKING BOOKS, SUPP
LEMENTING OR EVEN REPLACING TELEVISED OR
VIDEOTAPED COURSES. THE DISKS' INTERAC
TIVE NATURE WOULD ALLOW STUDENTS TO LEAR
N AT THEIR OWN PACES, ALLOWING THE REVIE
W OF ANY SECTION OF THE COURSE AT ANY TI
ME... CD-I CAN ALSO BE USED TO TEACH
BASIC SKILLS SUCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
, OR TECHNIQUES THAT WOULD BE EITHER PRO
HIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE OR IMPOSSIBLE TO DU
PLICATE, SUCH AS LANDING A PLANE WITH EN
GINE OR LANDING GEAR MALFUNCTION. INTER
ACTIVE SIMULATIONS CAN BE JUST AS ENGAGI
NG AS REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS. IT GOES WIT

I OFFERS MANY NEW AND INNOVATIVE PATHWAY
S IN THE PUBLISHING WORLD AS WELL. ONE
COMPANY WHICH IS SURE TO TAKE IMMEDIATE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS NEW FORMAT IS GROLIER
ELECTRONIC PUBLISHING WHICH MARKETS ITS
"ACADEMIC AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA" IN PRIN
T, ONLINE, ON VIDEODISK, AND ON CD-ROM.
THE NEW CD-I FORMAT WILL ALLOW THE ADDI

IMAGINE READING AN ARTICLE ABOUT JUN

.. IN ADDITION TO HOME AND OFFICE AP
PLICATIONS, WE WILL SEE AUTOMOTIVE APPLI
CATIONS WHICH WILL PLAY AUDIO COMPACT DI
SKS FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND DATA DISKS FOR
INFORMATION. ONE SUCH SYSTEM, CARIN (C
AR INFORMATION AND NAVIGATION), IS ALREA
DY BEING TESTED IN THE NETHERLANDS AND J
APAN... ALTHOUGH CHRYSLER AND FORD H
AVE CONTRACTS TO BEGIN INSTALLING SUCH A
SYSTEM IN THEIR CARS, IT IS NOT LIKELY
THAT WE WILL SEE THEM BEFORE THE 1990S,
WHEN THE LAST OF AN ARRAY OF NAVIGATIONA
L SATELLITES IS SUPPOSED TO BE PUT IN PL
ACE. THE SYSTEMS WILL USE THE SATELLITE
S TO LOCATE THE CAR'S PRESENT POSITION T
HEN, REFERRING TO MAPS STORED ON THE OPT
ICAL DISK, PLOT A COURSE ON A VIEWER...
THE SYSTEM SHOULD REDUCE FUEL CONSUM
PTION, DECREASE TRAVEL TIME AND MILEAGE,
AND CONTINUOUSLY LINK THE DRIVER TO CAR
FUNCTIONS AND ROAD AND WEATHER CONDITIO
NS. WITH THE DRIVER'S INTENDED DESTINAT
ION ENTERED INTO AN ON-BOARD COMPUTER, T
HE SYSTEM WILL COMPARE ROAD INFORMATION
ON A DISK WITH THE CAR'S ACTUAL SPEED AN
D ROUTE USING A METHOD OF "DEAD RECKONIN
G" WHICH IS AN INTERMEDIATE SOLUTION UNT
IL IT CAN USE THE MORE ACCURATE NAVSTAR
GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM... A SPEEC
H SYNTHESIS UNIT WILL GIVE THE DRIVER RO
UTE INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAK
ING CORRECTIONS IF HE DEVIATES OR MAKES
A WRONG TURN. FUTURE FEATURES OF THE SY
STEM WILL INCLUDE THE USE OF THE EUROPEA
N RADIO DATA SYSTEM, A SYSTEM FOR BROADC
ASTING DIGITAL LOCAL AREA TRAFFIC INFORM
ATION. SOME STATIONS IN THIS COUNTRY AL
READY USE THIS SYSTEM, WHICH ALERTS THE
DRIVER THAT A TRANSMISSION IS IMMINENT A
ND PRE-EMPTS REGULAR BROADCASTING FOR MO
TORIST INFORMATION... CARIN WILL INT
ERFACE WITH THIS SYSTEM ALLOWING A DRIVE
R TO REVISE HIS OR HER ROUTE AFTER TAKIN
G ROAD WORK OR TRAFFIC JAMS INTO ACCOUNT
. THE COST IS EXPECTED TO VARY DEPENDIN
G UPON THE FUNCTIONS REQUIRED, SUCH AS A
LINK TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT WARNS THE
DRIVER OF IMMINENT FUEL PROBLEMS AND PRO
VIDES A ROUTE TO THE NEAREST REFUELING P
OINT. AND YOU THOUGHT KITT, THE CAR FRO
M THE TELEVISION PROGRAM "KNIGHT RIDER",
WAS SCIENCE FICTION!.. OTHER REFINE
MENTS MIGHT INCLUDE THE ADDITION OF STRE
ET DIRECTORY INFORMATION WHICH COULD PIN
POINT THE INTERSECTION OF ANY TWO STREET
S IN A GIVEN REGION, HELP DRIVERS FIND U
NFAMILIAR ADDRESSES, OR PROVIDE ROUTES T
O NEW LOCATIONS. THE DISKS COULD ALSO I
NCLUDE TELEPHONE DIRECTORY INFORMATION F
OR EASY LOOKUP AND PERHAPS AUTOMATIC DIA
LING ON THE CAR'S TELEPHONE... AS IF
ALL THIS WEREN'T ENOUGH, YOUR INFORMATI
ON RETRIEVAL SYSTEM COULD BE CUSTOMIZED
TO FIT ANY PERSONALITY MOLD YOU'D PREFER
, MUCH AS THE COMPUTERS IN "STAR TREK" A
ND "2001" HAD. THIS "USER INTERFACE PER
SONA" WOULD PROVIDE A PERSONALITY SHELL
THAT A PROGRAM OR SYSTEM WOULD USE TO CO
MMUNICATE INFORMATION BACK TO THE USER.
USING A SET OF STANDARD SOFTWARE "CALLS
", ANY TYPE OF COMMUNICATION COULD BE TR
ANSLATED INTO A VIDEO AND AUDIO EXPERIEN
CE BASED ON THE SPECIFIC "PERSONALITY" D
ISK IN USE AT THE TIME... AN EXTENSI
ON OF THIS CONCEPT COULD HAVE THE SYSTEM
, ONCE DIRECTED BY THE USER AS TO THE KI
NDS OF INFORMATION HE OR SHE DESIRED, "S
TUDY" THE DATA BROADCAST TO THE HOME OR
TO SOME EXTERNAL DATA BANK AND PRESENT T
HE USER WITH A CUSTOMIZED RESPONSE. THI
S RESPONSE COULD TAKE THE FORM OF A DAIL
Y "PRIVATE NEWSPAPER" CUSTOM MADE DURING
THE NIGHT FOR MORNING READING OR AS A F
ORMAL REPORT IN RESPONSE TO A SPECIFIC R
EQUEST... EXPERTS EXPECT CD-I TO TAK
E CD-ROM TECHNOLOGY OUT OF THE MICROCOMP
UTER ENVIRONMENT AND INTO THE CONSUMER E
LECTRONICS MASS MARKET. AS UNDERSTANDIN

REASE, WE WILL SEE CD-I EVOLVING INTO MO
RE COMPLEX AND POWERFUL SYSTEMS. THE PO
SSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS, LIMITED ONLY BY
THE BOUNDS OF OUR IMAGINATION..
