There is now a serious discussion taking place about the moment at which human beings will be surpassed and replaced by the machine.

The field of computer graphics combines display hardware, software, and interactive techniques in order to display and interact with data generated by applications.

Immersive Multimodal Interactive Presence presents advanced interdisciplinary approaches that connect psychophysical and behavioral haptics research with advances in haptic technology and haptic rendering.

Ethnography is now a fundamental feature of design practice, taught in universities worldwide and practiced widely in commerce.

The book describes recent research results in the areas of modelling, creation, management and presentation of interactive 3D multimedia content.

The recent advances in display technologies and mobile devices is having an important effect on the way users interact with all kinds of devices (computers, mobile devices, laptops, tablets, and so on).

Lotus Notes is one of the most successful and versatile groupware products on the market today and is used widely in both large and small organisations.

Computer supported work is increasingly being done out of the traditional office environment, for example whilst travelling or at home and there is a growing need to support the cooperative aspects of such work.

This book contains a selection of articles on the subject of 'Culture and Production'.

Over the past 10 years, object technology has gained widespread acceptance within the software industry.

Progress in Gestural Interaction contains papers presented at the first Gesture Workshop, which was designed to bring together researchers working on gesture-based interfaces and gestural interaction and to provide a forum for the presentation and exchange of ideas and research currently in progress.

We first began looking at pointing devices and human performance in 1990 when the senior author, Sarah Douglas, was asked to evaluate the human performance ofa rather novel device: a finger-controlled isometric joystick placed under a key on the keyboard.

European competitiveness in a global perspective is a major issue on the agenda of the European Union and European industry.

Collaborative virtual environments are multi-user virtual realities which actively support communication and co-operation.

Social navigation is a vibrant new field which examines how we navigate information spaces in "e;real"e; and "e;virtual"e; environments, how we orient and guide ourselves, and how we interact with and use others to find our way in information spaces.
