Further research investigates the evaluation of the ripple effects of Thai Nitan along with enhanced graphics and interactive application that may include audio samples of stories and digital images and video clips. The multimedia has an important role in terms of the interaction between users and computer devices at the user interface. Because designing a usable Nitan mobile application is critical and necessary for our audiences. This kind of study is called computer human interaction.
