Electronic Engineering Applications
Audio
Seeing, hearing and touching, are the three most used human senses. Designing electronics to
interact with these senses is what audio, visual or mulitmedia applications do. These applications may be for
entertainment purposes such as mp3 players or web streamed television. Or they may have a more serious
application like voice recognition or video encoding.

Many modern houses have many different multimedia devices such as televisions, radios, Hi-Fi systems, videos, DVD players, playstation consoles and satellite recievers.
Frank Callaly from the Electronic Dept. in NUI, Galway is working on a system to connect all these systems together so that each room only has one monitor (tv/computer), one set of speakers and one remote but will allow the owner to use any device in any room wirelessly.
