Download or read book Close Engagements with Artificial Companions written by Yorick Wilks and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010-03-24 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will it be like to admit Artificial Companions into our society? How will they change our relations with each other? How important will they be in the emotional and practical lives of their owners – since we know that people became emotionally dependent even on simple devices like the Tamagotchi? How much social life might they have in contacting each other? The contributors to this book discuss the possibility and desirability of some form of long-term computer Companions now being a certainty in the coming years. It is a good moment to consider, from a set of wide interdisciplinary perspectives, both how we shall construct them technically as well as their personal philosophical and social consequences. By Companions we mean conversationalists or confidants – not robots – but rather computer software agents whose function will be to get to know their owners over a long period. Those may well be elderly or lonely, and the contributions in the book focus not only on assistance via the internet (contacts, travel, doctors etc.) but also on providing company and Companionship, by offering aspects of real personalization.
Download or read book AI Game Development written by Alex J. Champandard and published by New Riders. This book was released on 2003 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With game players expecting greater intelligence, efficiency, and realism with non-player characters, AI plays an ever-increasing important role in game development. This is a tremendous challenge for game developers in methodology, software design, and programming. Creating autonomous synthetic creatures that can adapt in games requires a different kind of understanding of AI than the classical approach used by current game programmers. The Nouvelle Game AI approach presented in this book focuses on creating embodied "animats" that behave in an intelligent and realistic manner. In particular, learning AI is generating much interest among the game development community, as these modern techniques can be used to optimize the development process. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This companion investigates the ways in which designers, architects, and planners address ecology through the built environment by integrating ecological ideas and ecological thinking into discussions of urbanism, society, culture, and design. Exploring the innovation of materials, habitats, landscapes, and infrastructures, it furthers novel ecotopian ideas and ways of living, including human-made settings on water, in outer space, and in extreme environments and climatic conditions. Chapters of this extensive collection on ecotopian design are grouped under five different ecological perspectives: design manifestos and ecological theories, anthropocentric transformative design concepts, design connectivity, climatic design, and social design. Contributors provide plausible, sustainable design ideas that promote resiliency, health, and well-being for all living things, while taking our changing lifestyles into consideration. This volume encourages creative thinking in the face of ongoing environmental damage, with a view to making design decisions in the interest of the planet and its inhabitants. With contributions from over 79 expert practitioners, educators, scientists, researchers, and theoreticians, as well as planners, architects, and engineers from the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia, this book engages theory, history, technology, engineering, and science, as well as the human aspects of ecotopian design thinking and its implications for the outlook of the planet.

Download or read book We are the Intelligent Designer written by James A Martin and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-06-18 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are multiple studies and writings on humans impact on the planet. Each focus is important but what is addressed here is how the silos cross influence. The impact may be by design or untended consequences of seemingly unrelated factors, but when mixed become a synthesis of actions beyond the original intent. Here the factors are featured and also the inter related results in the designed planet. And I look at what the form of hominin-like would be if designed for best function rather than the surviving elements (good and less than premium) of evolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Circuit Designer’s Companion covers the theoretical aspects and practices in analogue and digital circuit design. Electronic circuit design involves designing a circuit that will fulfill its specified function and designing the same circuit so that every production model of it will fulfill its specified function, and no other undesired and unspecified function. This book is composed of nine chapters and starts with a review of the concept of grounding, wiring, and printed circuits. The subsequent chapters deal with the passive and active components of circuitry design. These topics are followed by discussions of the principles of other design components, including linear integrated circuits, digital circuits, and power supplies. The remaining chapters consider the vital role of electromagnetic compatibility in circuit design. These chapters also look into safety, design of production, testability, reliability, and thermal management of the designed circuit. This book is of great value to electrical and design engineers.

Download or read book The Game Designer s Playbook written by Samantha Stahlke and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video games have captivated us for over 50 years, giving us entire worlds to explore, new ways to connect with friends, thought-provoking stories, or just a fun way to pass the time. Creating games is a dream for many, but making great games is challenging. The Game Designer's Playbook is about meeting that challenge. More specifically, it's a book about game interaction design; in other words, shaping what players can do and how they do it to make a game satisfying and memorable. Our time with a game is built on interaction, from basic things like pushing buttons on a controller, to making complicated strategic decisions and engaging with the narrative. If you've ever felt the adrenaline rush from beating a perfectly tuned boss fight or been delighted by the fanfare of picking up that last collectible, you've experienced good interaction design firsthand. The Game Designer's Playbook is about learning what makes for great (or terrible!) interaction design in games, exploring things like controls, feedback, story, and tutorial design by analyzing existing games. It also looks at how newer and still-developing tech like VR and streaming are changing the ways we play, and how you can bring great interaction design to your own games.
