Schauberger (1885-1958), born in Austria, looked at the interaction of water with the forest from a mystical point of view and developed radical theories regarding human interaction with nature, and w
Cognitive Computing for Human-Robot Interaction: Principles and Practices explores the efforts that should ultimately enable society to take advantage of the often-heralded potential of robots to provide economical and sustainable computing applications. The book discusses each of these abilities, presents working implementations, and combines coherent and original deliberative architecture for human-robot interaction. Supported by experimental results, the book shows how explicit knowledge management can be instrumental in richer and more natural human-robot interactions by pushing for pervasive, human-level semantics within the robot's deliberative system for sustainable computing applications.
In The Human Factor, Kim Vicente coined the term `Human-tech' to describe a more encompassing and ambitious approach to the study of Human-Technology Interaction (HTI) than is now evident in any of it
"Food for thought for communication/information/interface/interaction designers -- in short, anyone involved in human-to-human communication. What an exquisite feast". -- Daniel Boyarski"This book rep
Drawing on examples from art, media, fashion, history and memoir, cultural critic Rosemarie Garland-Thomson tackles a basic human interaction which has remained curiously unexplored, the human stare.
This book examines the domain of human agency-environment interaction from a multidimensional point of view. It explores the human-environment interface by analysing its ethical, political and epistem
Human interaction with the natural environment has a dual character. By turning increasing quantities of natural substances into physical resources, human beings might be said to have freed themselves
Today, people are in an era of digitally mediated Human-to-Human Interaction, which cannot provide full sensorial contact and therefore, emotions cannot be communicated completely. The intimate cover
