The amount of data in the world around us doubles every 20 months, and is already estimated at several hundred zettabytes (10^21). This means that there is currently no way to process even a selected chunk of the ocean of data in a classical manner, and therefore there is a growing demand for specialists with competence in data analysis in the broad sense, using methods beyond the standards defined in the last decades of the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Among other things, the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to the accelerated digitization of social life, as a result of which the generation of new data has not only accelerated, but a space has emerged for the management of economic, social and business processes once life is transferred to the online sphere.

The rules and information contained in large collections, if discovered and properly used - can make a significant contribution to improving the quality of life of an individual, an individual, a patient, a corporate organization, society as a whole, and can finally be crucial in discovering new laws of nature and the structure of matter both on a micro and macro world scale. With the increase in the volume of collected data, we are seeing the development of a new science known as Data Science, and with technological developments, opportunities are being created to analyze them using unconventional methods of engineering large data sets known as Big Data.

The term interactive multimedia covers issues of user interaction with information systems, usually online. A special role is played here by interaction, i.e. two-way communication of a person with the system or with other users through the system (e.g. in games and other activities requiring interaction). Such interaction is enabled by multimedia interfaces.

Interactive media integrates computer, data, television, phone and mobile devices, interfaces, and other information technologies. Interactive media refers to conceptual interaction design, graphical user interface, new media, digital culture, and enriched and virtual reality. Among the most popular interactive multimedia applications are games, educational and training programs, electronic encyclopedias and travel guides. The user of an interactive multimedia application becomes an active participant in two-way, wide-ranging communication.
