Designing Reality

by Neil A. Gershenfeld, Designing Reality Book available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Designing Reality books, 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.

Designing Virtual Reality Systems

by Gerard Kim, Designing Virtual Reality Systems Book available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Designing Virtual Reality Systems books, Developing and maintaining a VR system is a very difficult task, requiring in-depth knowledge in many disciplines. The difficulty lies in the complexity of having to simultaneously consider many system goals, some of which are conflicting. This book is organized so that it follows a spiral development process for each stage, describing the problem and possible solutions for each stage. Much more hands-on than other introductory books, concrete examples and practical solutions to the technical challenges in building a VR system are provided. Part 1 covers the very basics in building a VR system and explains various technical issues in object modeling and scene organization. Part 2 deals with 3D multimodal interaction, designing for usable and natural interaction and creating realistic object simulation. Primarily written for first level graduates, advanced undergraduates and IT professionals will also find this a valuable guide.

See Sooner Act Faster

by George S. Day, See Sooner Act Faster Book available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download See Sooner Act Faster books, How organizations can anticipate threats, spot opportunities, and act faster when the time is right; with rich examples including Adobe, MasterCard, and Amazon. When turbulence is the new normal, an organization's survival depends on vigilant leadership that can anticipate threats, spot opportunities, and act quickly when the time is right. In See Sooner, Act Faster, strategy experts George Day and Paul Schoemaker offer tools for thriving when digital advances intensify turbulence. Vigilant firms have greater foresight than their rivals, while vulnerable firms often miss early signals of external threats and organizational challenges. Charles Schwab, for example, was early to see and act on the promise of “robo-advisors”; Honeywell, on the other hand, stumbled when Nest Labs came out first with a “smart” thermostat. Day and Schoemaker show leaders how to assess their vigilance capabilities and cultivate insight and foresight throughout their organizations. They draw on a range of cases, including Adobe and Intuit's move to the cloud, Shell's investment in clean energy, and MasterCard's early recognition of digital challenges. Day and Schoemaker describe how to allocate the scarce resource of attention, how to detect weak signals and separate them from background noise, and how to respond strategically before competitors do. The challenge is not just to act faster but to act wisely, and the authors suggest ways to create dynamic portfolios of options. Finally, they offer an action agenda, with tips for fostering vigilance and agility throughout an organization. The rewards are stronger market positions, higher profits and growth, more motivated employees, and organization longevity.

Download Mensch Und Computer 2014 Tagungsband books, Die Mensch und Computer ist eine vom Fachbereich Mensch-Computer-Interaktion der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) initiierte und seit 2001 jährlich stattfindende Fachtagungsreihe zu Mensch-Computer-Interaktion. Hier treffen sich Personen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, um neueste Forschungsergebnisse zu diskutieren, Erfahrungen auszutauschen und neue Produkte und Methoden kennen zu lernen. Die Tagung bietet Einblicke in Entwicklungen in den Bereichen Usability, User Experience, Mensch-Computer-Interaktion, Computer-Supported Cooperative Work und Gestaltung interaktiver Medien. Die Mensch und Computer 2014 in München steht unter dem Motto „Interaktiv unterwegs – Freiräume gestalten“. Dieses Motto greift die Entwicklungen auf, dass Menschen nicht nur an Desktop-Rechnern mit verschiedenen Informationsdiensten und vor allem über solche Dienste miteinander interagieren können. Auch und gerade unterwegs, haben neue Typen von Geräten mit neuen Benutzungsschnittstellen völlig neue Freiräume für IT-Nutzer geschaffen. Der vorliegende Tagungsband enthält wissenschaftliche Beiträge zu den auf der Tagung präsentierten Fachvorträgen und Kurzbeiträgen (Postern) und liefert damit verschiedene Perspektiven aus den Bereichen Forschung und Praxis, die zusammen ein Kaleidoskop an Ideen, Theorien, Methoden und Lösungsvorschlägen bilden.
