Featherweight multimedia devices

Featherweight multimedia devices used in the agriculture and health domains in India. Featherweight multimedia devices combine audio
with non-electronic visual displays (e.g., paper). Because of their
low cost, customizability, durability, storage capacity, and energy
efficiency, they are well-suited for education and information
dissemination among illiterate and semi-literate people. The work by
Chu et all. presents a taxonomy of featherweight multimedia devices and also
derive design recommendations from their experiences deploying
featherweight multimedia in the agriculture and health domains
in India.
