Système héritéUn système hérité, système patrimonial ou système obsolète (en anglais : legacy system) est un matériel ou un logiciel continuant d'être utilisé dans une organisation (entreprise ou administration), alors qu'il est supplanté par des systèmes plus modernes. L'obsolescence de ces systèmes et leur criticité les rendent difficilement remplaçables sans engendrer des projets coûteux et risqués. Par exemple, les banques et assurances qui ont informatisé leur traitement des informations dans les années 1970 ont des applications qui tournent avec du code hérité souvent en COBOL ou en Fortran.
Data storageData storage is the recording (storing) of information (data) in a storage medium. Handwriting, phonographic recording, magnetic tape, and optical discs are all examples of storage media. Biological molecules such as RNA and DNA are considered by some as data storage. Recording may be accomplished with virtually any form of energy. Electronic data storage requires electrical power to store and retrieve data. Data storage in a digital, machine-readable medium is sometimes called digital data.
Content formatA content format is an encoded format for converting a specific type of data to displayable information. Content formats are used in recording and transmission to prepare data for observation or interpretation. This includes both analog and digitized content. Content formats may be recorded and read by either natural or manufactured tools and mechanisms. In addition to converting data to information, a content format may include the encryption and/or scrambling of that information.
Stereoscopic video gameA stereoscopic video game (also S-3D video game) is a video game which uses stereoscopic technologies to create depth perception for the player by any form of stereo display. Such games should not to be confused with video games that use 3D game graphics on a mono screen, which give the illusion of depth only by monocular cues but lack binocular depth information. Stereoscopic video games have been available for several years for PCs through the Nvidia 3D Vision and other platforms including AMD HD3D, DDD TriDef that use compatible hardware and active shutter 3D glasses.
