The December 1990 issue of Computer Graphics World has an interesting
article how an Amiga 2500 was used to create a multi-media presentation
that aided Atlanta in capturing the 1986 summer olympics.

CNN did a behind the scenes report on how it was done. Amazing stuff,
even showed the rack holding the control gear, with the "commercially
available personal computer that has a multitasking operating system"
that controlled it all.
The quote is probably wrong, but that's the best I remember of it, only
saw it once. It looked like a 2000 with the 5.25" bay empty. Couldn't
read the label. Didn't see anybody using an Amiga, just saw it as a
device controller. It sounded like other cities might be interested
in how Atlanta did it, I can see why the olympic committee was
impressed. Great example of a multimedia presentation, with the
emphasis on the interactive user interface.

The latest issue of Computer Graphics also has this covered under the
Applications Section of the mag. It includes info on the people that
programmed the software.As typical of Computer Graphics they held out
as long as they could before mentioning the Amiga,but once they did it
was easy to see that the Amiga truely did make it possible. To think
an article like this when they did not even give the Amiga honorable
mention in their issue on Multi-Media. CNN also did a short on the
Alanta Selection. did not mention the Amiga,but gave a brief glance of
it.(probably by mistake)

The people from Blue Ribbon Bakery Now called Blue Ribbon Soundworks
did a lot of the work. They produce the Bars & Pipes music sequencer
and I'm pretty sure they do Who What Where When (?) the calendar/organizer
software. I have Bars & Pipes which makes great use of multitasking.
They released a new add on package aimed at incorporating sound with
multimedia presentations. They say they used this stuff extensively
with the olympic committee presentation.
