Dieses Fachbuch bietet einen umfassenden Uberblick uber die Konzeption, Produktion und Bereitstellung von interaktivem Video im Internet. Es gliedert sich in zwei Teile. Der Theorieteil stellt fundiertes Hintergrundwissen zu Themen wie inhaltliche Konzeption, Aufnahme, Schnitt, Design, Usability und Interaktivitat zur Verfugung. Grafische und zeitliche Integration, Kompression und Technik der Ubertragung sind weitere Aspekte.

Der Praxisteil thematisiert ausfuhrlich die konkrete Umsetzung auf Basis von Adobe Flash. Hierbei stehen die speziellen Videofunktionen von Flash, das...

Im Allgemeinen bezieht sich dieses Buch auf Video-Produktionen mit Interaktion und im Besonderen auf die Formate DVD, Blu-ray Disc und HD DVD. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die Varianten der DVD nicht als Datentrager, sondern als Formate vorgestellt, die jeweils eigenstandige Genres darstellen, etwa interaktives Video, Dokumentationen, Games, Event-Shows etc.

Der Autor erlautert, wie im Rahmen dieser Formate Linearitat, Nonlinearitat und Interaktion fur Erzahlformen, fur Spiele und zur Wissensvermittlung genutzt werden konnen und welche technologischen Spezifikationen zu...

Speech in Mobile and Pervasive Environments addresses the issues related to speech processing on resource-constrained mobile devices. These include speech recognition in noisy environments, specialised hardware for speech recognition and synthesis, the use of context to enhance recognition and user experience, and the emerging software standards required for interoperability. This book takes a multi-disciplinary look at these matters, while offering an insight into the opportunities and...

In recent decades Multimedia processing has emerged as an important technology to generate content based on images, video, audio, graphics, and text. This book is a compilation of the latest trends and developments in the field of computational intelligence in multimedia processing. The edited book presents a large number of interesting applications to intelligent multimedia processing of various Computational Intelligence techniques including neural networks and fuzzy logic.

'User-designer relations' concerns the sorts of working relationships that arise between developers and end users of IT products - the different ways designers of IT products seek to engage with users, and the ways users seek to influence product design. It is through the shifting patterns of these relations that IT products are realised. Although it has generally been accepted that achieving better user-designer relations will improve the quality of IT products, there has been little consensus on how this might be achieved.

This book aims to deepen our understanding of the...

Access to Mobile Services focuses on methods for accessing broadcast based M-services from multiple wireless channels. This book presents a novel infrastructure that provides a multi-channel broadcast framework for mobile users to effectively discover and access composite M-services. Multi-channel algorithms are proposed for efficiently accessing composite services.

Access to Mobile Services provides an in-depth survey of wireless data access and motivates the need to treat mobile services differently. A wireless adaptation of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is also covered.

"Sense of Touch and its Rendering" presents a unique and interdisciplinary approach highlighting the field of haptic research from a neuropsychological as well as a technological point of view. This edited book is the outcome of the TOUCH-HapSys European research project and provides an important contribution towards a new generation of high-fidelity haptic display technologies. The book is structured in two parts: A. Fundamental Psychophysical and Neuropsychological Research and B. Technology and Applications. The two parts are not however separated, and the many connections and synergies...
