"Todo el análisis técnico realizado plasma visiones y propuestas constructivas en el terreno de la Ciencia Jurídica, que confrontan las vicisitudes históricas y obstáculos que ocasionan la inefectividad de los derechos, teniendo como referencia la crisis sanitaria derivada de la diseminación del Covid-19. Si dificultades ya existían en el marco de la crisis sistémica y estructural que abala a las sociedades de América Latina, lo cierto es que la pandemia representó un escenario de extrema gravedad, especialmente para los sectores más vulnerables, que titularizan formalmente derechos constitucionalizados que aún en la práctica no conocen. Por eso, el elemento común de las exposiciones es el compromiso, precisamente, con la concretización de la democracia y los derechos fundamentales, especialmente el derecho a la salud". Pietro Alarcón

As the first extensive exploration of contemporary third wave HCI, this handbook covers key developments at the leading edge of human-computer interactions. Now in its second decade as a major current of HCI research, the third wave integrates insights from the humanities and social sciences to emphasize human dimensions beyond workplace efficiency or cognitive capacities. The earliest HCI work was strongly based on the concept of human-machine coupling, which expanded to workplace collaboration as computers came into mainstream professional use. Today HCI can connect to almost any human experience because there are new applications for every aspect of daily life. Volume 1 - Technologies covers technical application areas related to artificial intelligence, metacreation, machine learning, perceptual computing, 3D printing, critical making, physical computing, the internet of things, accessibility, sonification, natural language processing, multimodal display, and virtual reality.
