Ever since the emergence of digitization, we've used the term multimedia to represent a combination of different kinds of media types, such as images, audio, and videos. As new sensing technologies emerge and are now becoming omnipresent in daily lives, the definition, role and significance of multimedia is changing. Multimedia now represents the means for communicating, cooperating, and also for monitoring numerous aspects of daily life, at various levels of granularity and application, ranging from personal to societal. With this shift, we have since moved from comprehending single media and its state toward comprehending media in terms of its use context.
