This book presents a survey of past and recent developments on human walking in virtual environments with an emphasis on human self-motion perception, the multisensory nature of experiences of walking, conceptual design approaches, current technologies, and applications. The use of Virtual Reality and movement simulation systems is becoming increasingly popular and more accessible to a wide variety of research fields and applications. While, in the past, simulation technologies have focused on developing realistic, interactive visual environments, it is becoming increasingly obvious that our everyday interactions are highly multisensory. Therefore, investigators are beginning to understand t...
Covering field history and discussing actual modern-day pilot actions and tasks, the editors of this volume have integrated contributions from leaders in aviation to present psychological principles and research pertinent to the interface between a pilot and the cockpit. The book addresses the pilot‘s cognitive demands, capabilities, and limitations, which have important implications for operator selection and training as well as display/control designs in the cockpit. It emphasizes scientific methods of achieving this understanding and implies that theories and principles of human behavior are shaped and improved by practical problems and applied studies.
Published annually since 1929, the American Alpine Journal is internationally renowned as the finest of its kind-the world's journal of record for documenting big new routes and remote mountain exploration. This is the reference for anyone planning anything new in the mountains or venturing into remote ranges. This book contains nearly 200 pages of exciting stories about the most important climbs of the year-as told by the climbers themselves; and about 300 photographs, many with route overlays, and 20 locator maps. In continuing celebration of the American Alpine Club's centennial.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Spatial Cognition, SC 2012, held in Kloster Seeon, Germany, in August/September 2012. The 31 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 59 submissions. The conference deals with spatial cognition, biological inspired systems, spatial learning, communication, robotics, and perception.
This book proposes a framework for integrating neuroscience and cyberpsychology for the study of social, cognitive, and affective processes.
