This book was released on 2010-08-29 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2005 in the subject Ergonomics, , language: English, abstract: Mit so genannten Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) kann dem Nutzer arbeitsbegleitend visuelle Informationen direkt auf die Netzhaut projiziert werden, so dass dem Nutzer zusätzliche visuelle Informationen zur Verfügung stehen. Im vorliegenden Experiment wurde eine Evaluation der Güte der Informationsdarstellung im HMD-Display unter visuell-ergonomischen Gesichtspunkten vorgenommen. Geprüft wurde, welchen Einfluss die Dichte und die Größe der darzustellenden Information auf die Lesbarkeit hat. Die visuelle Leistung (Suchgeschwindigkeit und Genauigkeit) am HMD wurde mit der bei einem herkömmlichen LCD-Bildschirm verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die HMD-Technologie im Hinblick auf eine leistungsoptimale Darstellung noch nicht uneingeschränkt als Lesemedium empfohlen werden kann. Hervorzuheben ist, dass das HMD bereits im jetzigen Entwicklungsstadium dann ohne größere Leistungsminderung und Einschränkungen nutzbar ist, wenn nur wenig Information dargestellt wird und ausreichend große Reize verwendet werden. Eher ungünstig sind die Bedingungen jedoch, wenn viel Information in einer kleinen Fontgröße dargeboten wird. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Studie zeigen, unter welchen Bedingungen das HMD in seiner jetzigen Ausgestaltung ohne Einschränkungen verwendbar ist und wann mit Leistungsminderungen gerechnet werden muss. Weiterhin werden Optimierungsvorschläge abgeleitet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert G. Moeller is the first historian of modern German women to use social policy as a lens to focus on society's conceptions of gender difference and "woman's place." He investigates the social, economic, and political status of women in West Germany after World War II to reveal how the West Germans, emerging from the rubble of the Third Reich, viewed a reconsideration of gender relations as an essential part of social reconstruction. The debate over "woman's place" in the fifties was part of West Germany's confrontation with the ideological legacy of National Socialism. At the same time, the presence of the Cold War influenced all debates about women and the family. In response to the "woman question," West Germans defined the boundaries not only between women and men, but also between East and West. Moeller's study shows that public policy is a crucial arena where women's needs, capacities, and possibilities are discussed, identified, defined, and reinforced. Nowhere more explicitly than in the first decade of West Germany's history did, in Joan Scott's words, "politics construct gender and gender construct politics." This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1993.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vibrant history of acoustical technology and aural culture in early-twentieth-century America. In this history of aural culture in early-twentieth-century America, Emily Thompson charts dramatic transformations in what people heard and how they listened. What they heard was a new kind of sound that was the product of modern technology. They listened as newly critical consumers of aural commodities. By examining the technologies that produced this sound, as well as the culture that enthusiastically consumed it, Thompson recovers a lost dimension of the Machine Age and deepens our understanding of the experience of change that characterized the era. Reverberation equations, sound meters, microphones, and acoustical tiles were deployed in places as varied as Boston's Symphony Hall, New York's office skyscrapers, and the soundstages of Hollywood. The control provided by these technologies, however, was applied in ways that denied the particularity of place, and the diverse spaces of modern America began to sound alike as a universal new sound predominated. Although this sound—clear, direct, efficient, and nonreverberant—had little to say about the physical spaces in which it was produced, it speaks volumes about the culture that created it. By listening to it, Thompson constructs a compelling new account of the experience of modernity in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design Methodology for Future Products – Data Driven, Agile and Flexible provides an overview of the recent research in the field of design methodology from the point of view of the members of the scientific society for product development (WiGeP - Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft für Produktenwicklung e.V.). This book aims to contribute to design methods and their implementation for innovative future products. The main focus is the crucial data-driven, agile, and flexible way of working. Four topics are covered in corresponding chapters, Methods for Product Development and Management, Methods for Specific Products and Systems, Facing the Challenges in Product Development and Model-Based Engineering in Product Development. This publication starts with the agile strategic foresight of sustainable mechatronic and cyber-physical systems, moves on to the topics of system generation engineering in development processes, followed by the technical inheritance in data-driven product development. Product improvements are shown via agile experiential learning based on reverse engineering and via combination of usability and emotions. Furthermore, the development of future-oriented products in the field of biomechatronic systems, sustainable mobility systems and in situ sensor integration is shown. The overcoming of challenges in product development is demonstrated through context-adapted methods by focusing on efficiency and effectiveness, as well as designer-centered methods to tackle cognitive bias. Flow design for target-oriented availability of data and information in product development is addressed. Topics of model-based systems engineering are applied to the function-driven product development by linking model elements at all stages and phases of the product. The potential of model-based systems engineering for modular product families and engineering of multidisciplinary complex systems is shown.

Download or read book Better Places to Work written by Great Britain. Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment and published by Thomas Telford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Better Places to Workis concerned with those elements of the design and development of workplaces that the planning system can influence. It explores issues around location, the public realm, architecture and linkages. It is based on the principle that well-designed, accessible and pleasant living and working environments are one of the key requirements for creating sustainable communities as set out in The Sustainable Communities Plan "Building for the Future". The authors believe that it is important to get new development right, given the growth of the employment sector and that poor planning and design risk a return to some of the mistakes made in the past. Better Places to Workdemonstrates that badly located and designed places of work are not only bad for the wider environment; they are also bad for business. Evidence collated by and for CABE shows that well planned workplaces are good for business productivity and efficiency, good for recruitment, retention and employee satisfaction and good for the balance sheet - they are much more cost effective over the lifetime of the building It focuses on ten exemplar developments from around England and uses case studies to offer guidance to all those involved in all stages of the development process. This includes designers and developers, local planning authorities, property agents and all those who occupy business premises. As a challenge and inspiration to everybody within the development industry, this guide draws on lessons of success stories to show how the planning for our workplaces can be improved for the benefit of all involved.

Download or read book Seamless written by Jesús Vassallo and published by Park Publishing (WI). This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past fifty years, documentary photography and architecture have become increasingly interdependent, blurring the disciplinary boundary between the two. Seamless looks at the work of a new generation of European photographers and architects working together to produce images of architecture made from fragments of reality. At the same time, it investigates how shared digital technologies influence the creation of architecture and its photographic representation through images. Based on a series of interviews, Seamless discusses the collaborations between Filip Dujardin and Jan De Vylder, Philipp Schaerer and Roger Boltshauser, and Bas Princen and OFFICE Kersten Geers David van Severen. Each of the three sections is illustrated with a series in images that form parallel narratives within the book. In the concluding essay, architect Jes s Vassallo pulls together the treads of the conversations to investigate questions about the impact of digital technology on the value assigned to images, how shared technological platforms enhance the influence photographers and architects have on each other, and why they have often chosen to focus on the dirty realism of the urban spaces.
