About The Voyager Company
Publishers of Interactive New Media Since 1984
Copyright 1992, The Voyager Company
The Voyager Company was founded in 1984 to pioneer and publish new forms of interactive media.
Voyager began by turning video viewers into video "readers." Their over 200 videodiscs, including the Criterion Collection of classic and contemporary films, take home viewing to a new level of user-driven interactivity. Voyager takes advantage of the medium's still-frame capabilities and amazing image clarity by including extra content: production photos, screenplay excerpts, screen tests, storyboards, and reviews of the films. Laserdisc's multiple soundtracks, including sharp digital sound, mean that there's room for extra audio content: commentaries, interviews, and bilingual soundtracks.
Laserdisc, with its ability to store thousands of individual images, is the ideal way to publish "books" of thousands of pages. With the "Regard for the Planet" disc, for example, viewers can browse through over 50,000 photographs taken by French photographer Marc Garanger during 30 years' travel around the globe. Science documentaries shed light on "The Creation of the Universe" and "The Miracle of Life." Museum discs on the Louvre, the National Gallery and the Orsay bring thousands of art masterpieces, in full color and spectacular detail, to the video screen.
In 1987, Voyager began using HyperCard to create "videodisc companions," specially tailored to the content of individual discs. By hooking up a Mac to a videodisc player, you can search and sort through the thousands of images on a disc instantly, according to criteria you select.
Voyager also publishes a wide variety of CD-ROM products. Voyager's best-known CD-ROM to date is "Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 9." The first in the CD Companion series, "Beethoven" uses a top-notch CD recording of the Ninth Symphony and a Macintosh computer to investigate this classic work in text, image, and music. The multi-tiered interactive HyperCard program gives users a means to explore great music in a self-paced, non-intimidating fashion.
Since the release of Beethoven in 1989, Voyager has expanded the CD Companion series to include programs on the works of Stravinsky, Mozart, Schubert, and Strauss. The company has also pioneered the development of personal narratives, by leading authors and artists, on CD-ROM.
Voyager's most recent innovation is books on high-density floppy diskettes. These Expanded Books are designed to be read on computers; they combine the best aspects of traditional book reading with features and benefits only a computer-based book can offer.
