Abstract:

A new tool for developing interactive teaching material has emerged. It is Sun Microsystems' object-oriented language JAVA. Using JAVA it is possible to construct interactive text for use as teaching materials. This paper describes the facilities provided by JAVA for image processing and the implementation of a few representative operators from different classes which will operate within a Web-browser environment, to explore the idea of ``interactive textbooks''.
