Download or read book Visualization and Engineering Design Graphics with Augmented Reality Third Edition written by Mariano Alcaniz and published by SDC Publications. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed as a learning tool to help the aspiring engineer learn the language of engineering graphics. In this regard, this book is hardly unique, as there have been literally hundreds of books published in the past that had a similar goal. The main challenge faced by engineering graphics books comes from the difficulty of representing and describing three dimensional information on paper, which is a consequence of the two dimensional nature of printed materials. What makes this book invaluable is the use of Augmented Reality, a technology that will allow you to escape the limitations of traditional materials enabling you, the student, to truly visualize the objects being described in full 3D. To take full advantage of this book you will need a smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera, along with the apps provided.* Many parts of the book are linked to specific augmented reality content through a series of black and white markers that have been seamlessly integrated throughout the pages. In order to experience the content, your device’s camera must be pointed at these markers. The main marker, available at the beginning of the book, is used to interact with the augmented reality models, which will be rendered in real time in your device’s screen. * If you do not have an iOS or Android device, or a computer with a webcam, SOLIDWORKS files of the models used throughout the book are available for download. In addition, STL files are available so the models can be opened using your solid modeling CAD package of choice or printed using a 3D printer.

Richly illustrated with over 200 images, Data, Matter, Design is an essential read for students, academics, and professionals to evaluate and discuss how data in design methodologies and theoretical discourses have evolved in the last two decades and why processes of data collection, measurement, quantification, simulation, algorithmic control, and their integration into methods of reading and producing spatial conditions, are becoming vital in academic and industry practices.

Download or read book Dear Data written by Giorgia Lupi and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equal parts mail art, data visualization, and affectionate correspondence, Dear Data celebrates "the infinitesimal, incomplete, imperfect, yet exquisitely human details of life," in the words of Maria Popova (Brain Pickings), who introduces this charming and graphically powerful book. For one year, Giorgia Lupi, an Italian living in New York, and Stefanie Posavec, an American in London, mapped the particulars of their daily lives as a series of hand-drawn postcards they exchanged via mail weekly—small portraits as full of emotion as they are data, both mundane and magical. Dear Data reproduces in pinpoint detail the full year's set of cards, front and back, providing a remarkable portrait of two artists connected by their attention to the details of their lives—including complaints, distractions, phone addictions, physical contact, and desires. These details illuminate the lives of two remarkable young women and also inspire us to map our own lives, including specific suggestions on what data to draw and how. A captivating and unique book for designers, artists, correspondents, friends, and lovers everywhere.

Download or read book Designing User Friendly Augmented Work Environments written by Saadi Lahlou and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-08 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims at capitalizing and transmitting know-how about the design of Augmented Environments (AE) from some of the most prominent laboratories in the field worldwide. The authors belong to the RUFAE network (Research on User- Friendly Augmented Environments, founded in 2002) who meet in research seminars to share experience; Writing this book was perceived as an opportunity to look back over the last few years to sum up important findings; and formalize their approach and experience, which they never had the time or opportunity to do. Although the authors of this book have very different backgrounds, striking similarities emerge in their approach and design principles: never-endingness, activity-orientedness, continuous design, realism are some of the pillars of this approach; enabling to deal with the complex, heterogeneous, multi-user and mul- purpose constructions which AE designers have to face. The book illustrates how these principles enabled them to construct robust, ef- cient, and user-friendly Augmented Environments in spite of the many challenges to make these operational. We hope their experience will help the reader. Primary audience: Academics, Students and Professionals involved in the CHI, CSCW, Ubicomp, Cooperative Building communities. Computer Scientists int- ested by end-users and applications, Social Scientists operating in the IT domain, IT & Organization Consultants. Secondary audience: Developers of office and conferencing applications or middleware, Architects of office buildings, Space Planners, Designers; Facility Managers; IT, furniture & building Business Communities.

Download or read book Constructions and Analysis of Augmented and Modified Augmented Designs written by Aragaw Aguade and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The augmented block design is widely used in breeding programs. Control(s) used to estimate the experimental error. Generally augmented designs use large number of blocks and unreplicated designs. In this design, we cannot measure the error mean square. Therefore, augmented block designs are less efficient. The main objective of this study was constructing efficient designs by using BIB design, modified augmented designs. The study establishes a marriage between test versus control treatment through in both RIB design, augmented block design, and balanced main effect plans (saturated and unsaturated)with BIB designs, modified augmented designs. The construction and the analysis of modified augmented BIB design can be considered by using the fixed and mixed model analysis, and in addition, the A- and MV- Optimality of those designs have been provided with illustrative examples. The results were obtained using SAS. Based on our finding, the modified augmented design is more efficient than augmented designs.
