Some typical examples of multimedia applications in the information and communications industry are promotional games, product demos in E-shops and online (multimedia) tutorials. There is a rich variety of research topics connected with the effective utilization of multimedia, covering issues like authoring, information retrieval, human-computer interaction, software architecture, networking and 3D graphics.

Characteristic for research in multimedia is an explorative approach, addressing design as well as development issues. Examples of topics you may work on include (serious) games, interactive video applications and rich media web mashups.
