ABSTRACT:
A method and system are disclosed for integrating multimedia presentations into an object oriented user interface which includes multiple polymorphic objects which each have associated encapsulated data and functionality. Multiple separate user selectable data views are defined for each object which provide different views of the data associated with an object. Selection by a user of an audio or video data view for an object results in the provision of a multimedia presentation by automatically coupling audio or video data to an appropriate device. Audio data may be directly associated with an object or derived in response to selection of an audio data view, by means of a text-to-speech process, or other similar technique. Encapsulating multimedia data within an object integrates multimedia presentation capability within an object without requiring separate audio or video objects which must be manipulated by the user.
