Book Description
The recent digital and mobile revolutions are a minor blip compared to the next wave of technological change, as everything from robot swarms to skin-top embeddable computers and bio printable organs start appearing in coming years. In this collection of inspiring essays, designers, engineers, and researchers discuss their approaches to experience design for groundbreaking technologies. Design not only provides the framework for how technology works and how it’s used, but also places it in a broader context that includes the total ecosystem with which it interacts and the possibility of unintended consequences. If you’re a UX designer or engineer open to complexity and dissonant ideas, this book is a revelation.

Designing Agentive Technology

Author: Christopher Noessel
Publisher: Rosenfeld Media
ISBN: 1933820705
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 241

Book Description
Advances in narrow artificial intelligence make possible agentive systems that do things directly for their users (like, say, an automatic pet feeder). They deliver on the promise of user-centered design, but present fresh challenges in understanding their unique promises and pitfalls. Designing Agentive Technology provides both a conceptual grounding and practical advice to unlock agentive technology’s massive potential.

Ageing and Digital Technology

Author: Barbara Barbosa Neves
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9811336938
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336

Book Description
This book brings together Sociologists, Computer Scientists, Applied Scientists and Engineers to explore the design, implementation and evaluation of emerging technologies for older people. It offers an innovative and comprehensive overview, not only of the rapidly developing suite of current digital technologies and platforms, but also of perennial theoretical, methodological and ethical issues. As such, it offers support for researchers and professionals who are seeking to understand and/or promote technology use among older adults. The contributions presented here offer theoretical and methodological frameworks for understanding age-based digital inequalities, participation, digital design and socio-gerontechnology. They include ethical and practical reflections on the design and evaluation of emerging technologies for older people, as well as guidelines for ethical, participatory, professional and cross-disciplinary research and practice. In addition, they feature state-of-the-art, international empirical research on communication technologies, games, assistive technology and social media. As the first truly multidisciplinary book on technology use among ageing demographics, and intended for students, researchers, applied researchers, practitioners and professionals in a variety of fields, it will provide these readers with insights, guidelines and paradigms for practice that transcend specific technologies, and lay the groundwork for future research and new directions in innovation.

Wharton on Managing Emerging Technologies

Author: George S. Day
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471689393
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 484

Book Description
Manager in allen Branchen werden mit dem Thema neue, zukunftsweisende Technologien konfrontiert. Hierher gehören nicht nur elektronische Technologien, sondern jede neue Technologie, die in der Lage ist, neue Industriezweige zu schaffen oder bestehende zu verändern. Diese Technologien sind ein "neues Spiel", dessen Regeln unvereinbar sind mit Kultur und Geschäftsmethoden der meisten etablierten Unternehmen. Das erste Buch auf dem Markt, das sich mit diesem wichtigen Thema gezielt auseinandersetzt. Ein interdisziplinäres Expertenteam der Wharton School erläutert, wie Geschäftspraktiken geändert werden müssen, um Innovationen wie der Biotechnologie, der Informationstechnologie und dem Internet zu begegnen. Darüber hinaus wird diskutiert, wie Manager ihre Methoden zur Finanzanalyse, Markteinschätzung und zur Wettbewerbsstrategie ändern müssen, und wie etablierte Firmen künftig die gängigen Fehler im Zusammenhang mit neuen Technologien vermeiden können.

Emerging Technologies and Museums

Author: Theopisti Stylianou-Lambert
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1800733755
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 252

Book Description
How can emerging technologies display, reveal and negotiate difficult, dissonant, negative or undesirable heritage? Emerging technologies in museums have the potential to reveal unheard or silenced stories, challenge preconceptions, encourage emotional responses, introduce the unexpected, and overall provide alternative experiences. By examining varied theoretical approaches and case studies, authors demonstrate how “awkward”, contested, and rarely discussed subjects and stories are treated – or can be potentially treated - in a museum setting with the use of the latest technology.

Human Interaction and Emerging Technologies

Author: Tareq Ahram
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030256294
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 1027

Book Description
This book reports on research and developments in human-technology interaction. A special emphasis is given to human-computer interaction, and its implementation for a wide range of purposes such as healthcare, aerospace, telecommunication, and education, among others. The human aspects are analyzed in detail. Timely studies on human-centered design, wearable technologies, social and affective computing, augmented, virtual and mixed reality simulation, human rehabilitation and biomechanics represent the core of the book. Emerging technology applications in business, security, and infrastructure are also critically examined, thus offering a timely, scientifically-grounded, but also professionally-oriented snapshot of the current state of the field. The book is based on contributions presented at the 1st International Conference on Human Interaction and Emerging Technologies, IHIET 2019, held on August 22-24, in Nice, France. It offers a timely survey and a practice-oriented reference guide to systems engineers, psychologists, sport scientists, physical therapists, as well as decision-makers, designing or dealing with the new generation of service systems.

Designing Reality

Languages : en
Pages : 347

Book Description
That's the promise, and peril, of the third digital revolution, where anyone will be able to make (almost) anything Two digital revolutions -- computing and communication -- have radically transformed our economy and lives. A third digital revolution is here: fabrication. Today's 3D printers are only the start of a trend, accelerating exponentially, to turn data into objects: Neil Gershenfeld and his collaborators ultimately aim to create a universal replicator straight out of Star Trek. While digital fabrication promises us self-sufficient cities and the ability to make (almost) anything, it could also lead to massive inequality. The first two digital revolutions caught most of the world flat-footed, thanks to Designing Reality that won't be true this time.

Design in Educational Technology

Author: Brad Hokanson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3319009273
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 277

Book Description
This book is the result of a research symposium sponsored by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology [AECT]. The fifteen chapters were developed by leaders in the field and represent the most updated and cutting edge methodology in the areas of instructional design and instructional technology. The broad concepts of design, design thinking, the design process, and the design studio, are identified and they form the framework of the book. This book advocates the conscious adoption of a mindset of design thinking, such as that evident in a range of divergent professions including business, government, and medicine. At its core is a focus on “planning, inventing, making, and doing.” (Cross, 1982), all of which are of value to the field of educational technology. Additionally, the book endeavors to develop a deep understanding of the design process in the reader. It is a critical skill, often drawing from other traditional design fields. An examination of the design process as practiced, of new models for design, and of ways to connect theory to the development of educational products are all fully explored with the goal of providing guidance for emerging instructional designers and deepening the practice of more advanced practitioners. Finally, as a large number of leading schools of instructional design have adopted the studio form of education for their professional programs, we include this emerging topic in the book as a practical and focused guide for readers at all levels.
