Computer Gra~hics, 26, 2, JUIV1992 A TeleComputer Jim Clark Silicon Graphics, Inc. As digital computing costs decline over the next ten years, computer technology s most widespread use will be in consumer applications. The future digital television screen will be a natural visual control center for many new applications, such as normal television entertainment, virtual reality games, home control systems, interactive books, magazines and newsprirt~ and telephonic, televideo and data communications. A client-server network environment can exist in which the network is the merged cable-tv/telephone system, the client is a home telecomputer that controls the images seen, and the server is a multi-mdla computer system that is integral to the cable head-end or telecommunications central-office. 1 In this paper, I attempt to define the functionality of a telecomputer so that the broadest set of applications is possible. Introduction. Multi-meda means the integration of audio, video, graphics and computing into a single digital environment. It promises many new applications that can utilize this combination of techno 10gies. Most people expect the integration to come in next generation personal computers, and many computer companies are working to this end. But for the ordinary consumer, a more likely possibility
