Interaction Design for 3D User Interfaces
This book addresses the new interaction modalities that are becoming possible with new devices by looking at user interfaces from an input perspective. It deals with modern input devices and user interaction and design covering in-depth theory, advanced topics for noise reduction using Kalman Filters, a case study, and multiple chapters showing hands-on approaches to relevant technology, including modern devices such as the Leap-Motion, Xbox One Kinect, inertial measurement units, and multi-touch technology. It also discusses theories behind interaction and navigation, past and current techniques, and practical topics about input devices.
On Spartan Wings
This WWII history chronicles the courageous but ill-prepared Greek air force from the Battle of Greece to the Battle of El Alamein and beyond. On October 28th, 1940, when Greece was invaded by Mussolini’s Italy, the Royal Hellenic Air Force was severely outgunned. Without warning, the RHAF’s paltry fleet was pitted against the much larger and more advanced Regia Aeronautica, whose pilots had recently honed their skills in the Spanish Civil War. Though the British Royal Air Force gave whatever assistance it could, the aerial war was unequal from the beginning. Greek flying aces such as Marinos Mitralexis managed to keep morale high. But even as individual pilots and crewmembers fought val...
Olympische Spiele 1896 Athen
Die über ein Jahrtausend durchgeführten Olympischen Spiele der Antike waren im Laufe der Jahrhunderte fast in Vergessenheit geraten. Erst die Ausgrabung der Ruinen von Olympia machte die Spiele im 19. Jahrhundert wieder populär. Angeregt durch die zur selben Zeit aufkpmmende Sportbewegung entwickelte Pierre de Coubertin die Idee der Wiederbegründung Olympischer Spiele. Dieses Buch spannt einen Bogen vom Olympia der Antike bis zu den ersten Spielen der Neuzeit 1896. Hauptthema ist die vollständige Darstellung der Spiele von Athen. Alle Wettkämpfe mit voller Statistik, alle Teilnehmer, meist mit Bild. Ausführliche Portraits aller Olympiasieger. 450 SW-Fotos und Abbildungen lassen die Zeit wieder lebendig werden. Zeitgleich erscheint eine Luxusausgabe gleichen Inhalts komplett in Farbe.

Cultural and Tourism Innovation in the Digital Era
This book explores a wide range of emerging cultural, heritage, and other tourism issues that will shape the future of hospitality and tourism research and practice in the digital and innovation era. It offers stimulating new perspectives in the fields of tourism, travel, hospitality, culture and heritage, leisure, and sports within the context of a knowledge society and smart economy. A central theme is the need to adopt a more holistic approach to tourism development that is aligned with principles of sustainability; at the same time, the book critically reassesses the common emphasis on innovation as a tool for growth-led and market-oriented development. In turn, fresh approaches to innovation practices underpinned by ethics and sustainability are encouraged, and opportunities for the exploration of new research avenues and projects on innovation in tourism are highlighted. Based on the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference of the International Association of Cultural and Digital Tourism (IACuDiT) and edited in collaboration with IACuDiT, the book will appeal to a broad readership encompassing academia, industry, government, and other organizations.
A History of Modern Greek Economic Thought
Tracing the evolution of economic ideas in the context of the economic history and economic policy issues in Greece, this book examines the history of modern Greek economic thought from the War of Independence from Ottoman rule in 1821 until the present. The book explores how native, religious-oriented economic thought was secularized and merged with different economic discourses during successive historical periods. It traces how the dissemination of French and German economic thought in the 19th century was followed by British and US influences in the 20th century. The institutionalization of economics as a discipline in the 1920s and its internationalization after 1971, with their effects on the emergence of modern mainstream and heterodox thought, are also discussed. Finally, reference is made to contemporary Greek economic thought in the frame of European Union economic thinking. This book will be of interest to readers in the history of economic thought, economic history, intellectual history, Greek history, and modern European history more broadly.

The Wide Lens in Archaeology
This book honors the memory of Brian Hesse, a scholar of Near Eastern archaeology, a writer of alliterative and punned publication titles, and an accomplished amateur photographer. Hesse specialized in zooarchaeology, but he influenced a wider range of excavators and ancient historians with his broad interpretive reach. He spent much of his career analyzing faunal materials from different countries in the Middle East-including Iran, Yemen, and Israel, and his publications covered themes particular to animal bone studies, such as domestication, ancient market economics, as well as broader themes such as determining ethnicity in archaeology. The essays in this volume reflect the breadth of his...
