Affective And Emotional Aspects Of Human Computer Interaction

Book by Maja Pivec, Affective And Emotional Aspects Of Human Computer Interaction Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Affective And Emotional Aspects Of Human Computer Interaction books, "The learning process can be seen as an emotional and personal experience that is addictive and motivates learners to proactive behaviour. New research methods in this field are related to affective and emotional approaches to computer-supported learning and human-computer interactions. The major topics discussed are emotions, motivation, games and game-experience. The book is divided in three parts, part I, Game-based Learning, reflects upon the two-way interaction between game and student, thus enabling the game to react to the student's emotional state. Having the possibility to detect and steer the emotional state of the student could have a positive impact on using digital games in education. It is claimed that some commercial computer games increase cognitive skills and may enhance multitasking abilities and the participants' general ability to learn. Part II, Motivation and Learning, analyses whether the absence or presence of social and personal cues in the communication between a tutor and his or her students influence students' learning and their satisfaction with the tutor and the course. The research showed that not all types of personal information are equally important and possibly pictorial information is more important than audible information. Part III, Emotions and Emotional Agents, discusses the production of learning environments which enhance the learner's self esteem, ensure that the learner's best interests are respected through paying attention to the narrative structures of the learner's experience, and the ways in which communication can be enhanced through empathy with the learner."

Affect And Emotion In Human Computer Interaction

Book by Christian Peter, Affect And Emotion In Human Computer Interaction Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Affect And Emotion In Human Computer Interaction books, Affect and emotion play an important role in our everyday lives: They are present whatever we do, wherever we are, and wherever we go, without us being aware of them for much of the time. When it comes to interaction, be it with humans, technology, or humans via technology, we suddenly become more aware of emotion, either by seeing the other’s emotional expression, or by not getting an emotional response while anticipating one. Given this, it seems only sensible to explore affect and emotion in human-computer interaction, to investigate the underlying principles, to study the role they play, to develop methods to quantify them, and to finally build applications that make use of them. This is the research field for which, over ten years ago, Rosalind Picard coined the phrase "affective computing". The present book provides an account of the latest work on a variety of aspects related to affect and emotion in human-technology interaction. It covers theoretical issues, user experience and design aspects as well as sensing issues, and reports on a number of affective applications that have been developed in recent years.

Psychologie In Der Nutzerzentrierten Produktgestaltung

Book by Sarah Diefenbach, Psychologie In Der Nutzerzentrierten Produktgestaltung Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Psychologie In Der Nutzerzentrierten Produktgestaltung books, Das informative und spannende Buch richtet sich an eine Leserschaft aus Praxis, Forschung und Lehre in der Psychologie, Gestaltung und Informatik. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zeigen die Autoren wie psychologisches Wissen gezielt für die erlebnis- und wohlbefindensorientierte Gestaltung interaktiver Produkte eingesetzt werden kann. Ob im Privaten oder auf der Arbeit: Interaktive Produkte, wie unsere Lieblingswebsites oder die Apps auf unseren Smartphones, müssen praktisch sein und Freude machen. Die Nutzung soll zum positiven Erlebnis werden (User Experience, UX). Um dieser Forderung gerecht zu werden, beschäftigen sich nun immer mehr Psychologen mit der menschengerechten Gestaltung interaktiver Produkte. Als User Experience Professionals oder Produktmanager arbeiten vielleicht auch Sie im interdisziplinären Team an der Nahtstelle von Design, angewandter Psychologie und Informatik. Im ersten Teil finden Sie Argumente, Positionen und aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zum Thema "erlebnisorientierte Gestaltung", wie beispielsweise "Freude und Wohlbefinden als Gestaltungsziel" und "Ästhetik der Interaktion". Ein Arbeitsmodell soll dabei helfen, das Wissen im Gestaltungsalltag einzusetzen. Auch im zweiten Teils des Buches liegt der Fokus auf der praktischen Anwendung. Hier finden Sie Methoden und Werkzeuge für die psychologisch fundierte Gestaltung von Interaktion und Erlebnis. So bietet dieses Buch sowohl ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes wie auch anwendungsbezogenes Repertoire für die Gestaltung und Evaluation von Interaktion – damit interaktive Produkte unseren Alltag in Zukunft noch mehr bereichern.

Games And Simulations In Online Learning

Book by David Gibson, Games And Simulations In Online Learning Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Games And Simulations In Online Learning books, Nearly all early learning happens during play, and new technology has added video games to the list of ways children learn interaction and new concepts. Although video games are everywhere on Web sites, in stores, streamed to the desktop, on television they are absent from the classroom. Computer-based simulations, a form of computer games, have begun to appear, but it is not as wide-spread as email, discussion threads, and blogs.Games and Simulations in Online Learning: Research and Development Frameworks examines the potential of games in simulations in online learning, and how the future could look as developers learn to use the emerging capabilities of the Semantic Web. It presents a general understanding of how the Semantic Web will impact education and how games and simulations can evolve to become robust teaching resources.

Funology

Book by M.A. Blythe, Funology Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Funology books, This book reflects the move in Human Computer Interaction studies from standard usability concerns towards a wider set of problems to do with fun, enjoyment, aesthetics and the experience of use. Traditionally HCI has been concerned with work and task based applications but as digital technologies proliferate in the home fun becomes an important issue. There is an established body of knowledge and a range of techniques and methods for making products and interfaces usable, but far less is known about how to make them enjoyable. Perhaps in the future there will be a body of knowledge and a set of techniques for assessing the pleasure of interaction that will be as thorough as those that currently assess usability. This book is a first step towards that. It brings together a range of researchers from academia and industry to provide answers. Contributors include Alan Dix, Jacob Nielsen and Mary Beth Rosson as well as a number of other researchers from academia and industry.

Book by G”k‡ay, Didem, Affective Computing And Interaction Psychological Cognitive And Neuroscientific Perspectives Books available in PDF, EPUB, Mobi Format. Download Affective Computing And Interaction Psychological Cognitive And Neuroscientific Perspectives books, Since interactions may occur between animals, humans, or computational agents, an interdisciplinary approach which investigates foundations of affective communication in a variety of platforms is indispensable. In the field of affective computing, a collection of research, merging decades of research on emotions in psychology, cognition and neuroscience will inspire creative future research projects and contribute to the prosperity of this emerging field. Affective Computing and Interaction: Psychological, Cognitive and Neuroscientific Perspectives examines the current state and the future prospects of affect in computing within the context of interactions. Uniting several aspects of affective interactions and topics in affective computing, this reference reviews basic foundations of emotions, furthers an understanding of the contribution of affect to our lives and concludes by revealing current trends and promising technologies for reducing the emotional gap between humans and machines, all within the context of interactions.
