Ecodisc

Ecodisc is a program which allows the user to take on the role of a

Nature Reserve Manager. It was designed by a man named Peter Bratt, and

Englishman in South Devon. Ecodisc is designed so that the user can see what

effects certain changes can make on the environment with out actually making the

changes. Ecodisc is a good educational tool showing new users the effects of

certain decisions. It can also be used a map, because it lets you see various

parts of the nature reserve without actually going there.

Ecodisc allows the user to take on the role of a nature reserve manger, which is

the person who basically decides what changes will be made to the nature reserve.

With aid of the Ecodisc, the results of decisions can be shown without actually

doing anything, or doing any harm to the environment.

Ecodisc allows users to explore various parts of the nature reserve and view it

from different positions. You can see the area from any direction (north, south,

east or west), and even from a helicopter position. Ecodisc lets you see the

areas of the reserve from any part of the year. For example, you could view the

reserve in the middle of winter and see what it looks like in summer.

Ecodisc is one of the first interactive programmes, and there are hopes of some

day there being interactive broadcast television. This is a breakthrough in

visual entertainment, because while television lets you see a place, interactive

video will let you explore it. Interactive video is where the viewer decides the

plot and characters of a movie, or show. The viewer will basically be able to

write their own scripts and produce the movie at the same time.

Ecodisc would be very good for showing students (or anyone) interested in

managing nature reserves, working for national parks or just as an interest

thing.

Ecodisc is an invention which would greatly help both the computer and

television industries as well as the nature and wildlife organisations across

the world. Already there are programmes that enable the user to take control of

what is happening, and Ecodisc, being one of the first, has greatly aided the

production of the others. Ecodisc is the start of a new way of life in visual

entertainment and may also aid things like scientific research and study.
