The MultiPicture™ is a decorative device found aboard the Von Braun during System Shock 2.

Overview

The MultiPicture™ is a decorative digital display containing several classical pieces of art. The display can be changed with a push of a button. It serves the same purpose as a painting, and the player can change the painting displayed if they so want to. Each terminal stores three paintings. The MultiPicture™ can be found in most Crew Quarters on the ship, like on the MedSci Deck and Operations Deck. Paintings on the Von Braun depict pre-20th century art. Several of the MultiPicture™ displays on the Recreation Deck contain fragments of the code to the transmitter dish. They can also be referred to as Art-Terminals.
