Textbook summarizing the state of pattern languages in human-computer interaction (HCI), proposing a new pattern-based framework for interactive systems design, drawn from the authors experience from a number of interactive exhibits and public 'kiosk' systems. DLC: Human-computer interaction.
The use of information and communication technology in scientific research has been hailed as the means to a new larger-scale, more efficient, and cost-effective science. But although scientists increasingly use computers in their work and institutions have made massive investments in technology, we still have little idea how computing affects the...
"Playing computer video games can be just what you need to get a job." Could such a statement ever be true? Computer games, software, and networking technologies are often viewed as threats to the social, emotional, and physical well being and development of children. However, such beliefs are often unfounded.
The book is as simple as possible and aimed at a non-technical audience with absolutely no knowledge of computers or electronics, but it is an electrical engineering text. A typical page consists of a circuit diagram (or program) and a paragraph or two of explanation. The book begins with a VERY simple circuit and continues to a very complex...

Since the dawn of computing, the quest for a better understanding of Nature has been a driving force for technological development. Groundbreaking achievements by great scientists have paved the way from the abacus to the supercomputing power of today. When trying to replicate Nature in the computer’s silicon test tube, there is need...
Haptic devices allow users to feel their interfaces and interactions. This has the
potential to radically change the way we use computers. Haptic interaction is
interaction related to the sense of touch. This could be based on force-feedback or
tactile devices. We can take advantage of our powerful sense of touch as an
alternative...
Back in the early 1990s—1993, to be
exact—Apple Computer launched a
handheld computer product known as the
Newton. Interestingly, the Newton was the
first device to be called a personal digital
assistant (PDA), a term that lives on today.
Essentially, it was the first tablet computer.
The one thing that most folks...
Computer Vision is the science and technology of machines that see. The dominant
scientific conferences in computer vision, such as ICCV, CVPR and ECCV,
concentrate on theories and models for obtaining information from images and
image sequences. The intensely competitive nature of these conferences leaves
little room to...
After the mainframe and personal computer eras, the third major era in computer science, ubiquitous computing, describes the state of technology in which networked computers would surround every user.
Ubiquitous Computing Technology for Real Time Enterprises combines the fundamental methods, algorithms, and concepts of...
