This book presents a novel framework for understanding and designing performative experiences with digital technologies. It introduces readers to performance theory and practice in the context of HCI and gives a practical and holistic approach for understanding complex interactions with digital technologies at the far end of third-wave HCI.

The author presents a step-by-step explanation of the Performative Experience Design methodology, along with a detailed case study of the design process as it was applied to co-located digital photo sharing. Finally, the text offers guidelines...

This book describes the technology used for effective sensing of our physical world and intelligent processing techniques for sensed information, which are essential to the success of Internet of Things (IoT). The authors provide a multidisciplinary view of sensor technology from materials, process, circuits, and big data domains and showcase smart sensor systems in real applications including smart home, transportation, medical, environmental, agricultural, etc. Unlike earlier books on sensors, this book provides a "global" view on smart sensors covering abstraction levels from device,...

The promise of technology has always been about happiness in one form or another. Technology aspires to make tiresome chores go faster, to help people get better at their work, and to augment human abilities. And yet, research suggests that technology has a strong negative impact on our lives. We all struggle a little with being human in the digital age.

How can we start designing toward long-term well-being rather than short-term goals of attention and conversion? Just as countries are measuring well-being and companies are looking more closely at employee happiness, technology can...

Seit dem kommerziellen Erfolg des 3D-Blockbusters "Avatar" im Jahr 2009 kommen immer mehr 3D-Filme und 3D-Fernseher auf den Markt. Mittlerweile gibt es Autostereoskopie-Verfahren, bei denen Zuschauer keine 3D-Brille mehr benotigen. In dem Band werden die derzeit verfugbaren Technologien der Autostereoskopie, ihre Funktionsweise, Anwendung und Limitierung allgemeinverstandlich beschrieben. Zu jeder Technologie liefert der Band Anleitungen und Beispiele fur die Erstellung von 3D-Inhalten. Alle Tools sind auf der begleitenden Internetseite verfugbar.

In diesem essential werden die ubergeordneten Zielsetzungen der Applikationsentwicklung und -einfuhrung auf vier Evolutionsphasen verteilt, um unterschiedlichen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. Durch den daraus resultierenden strategischen Applikationslebenszyklus (SALZ) konnen innovative Neuentwicklungen in fruhen Phasen von technischen und architekturbezogenen Vorgaben befreit und agil entwickelt werden, wahrend fur operative Kernsysteme weiterhin ein ausfuhrliches Anderungsmanagement betrieben wird. Damit bietet der SALZ auch die Grundlage, um in Unternehmen IT-Entwicklungsprojekte...

The evolution of story-telling is as old as the human race; from the beginning, when our ancestors first gathered around a campfire to share wondrous tales through oral traditions, to today, with information and stories being shared through waves and filling screens with words and images. Stories have always surrounded us, and united us in ways other disciplines can't. Storytelling for Interactive Digital Media and Video Games lays out the construct of the story, and how it can be manipulated by the storyteller through sound, video, lighting, graphics, and color. This book is the...
