This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact.
This book discusses the latest advances in research and development, design, operation and analysis of transportation systems and their complementary infrastructures. It reports on both theories and case studies on road and rail, aviation and maritime transportation. The book covers a wealth of topics, from accident analysis, vehicle intelligent control, and human-error and safety issues to next-generation transportation systems, model-based design methods, simulation and training techniques, and many more. A special emphasis is given to smart technologies and automation in transport, as well as to user-centered, ergonomic and sustainable design of transport systems. The book, which is based...
O livro “Consumo, Desejo e Diversão” é uma coletânea acadêmica editada por Alberto Dafonte, Dorival Rossi, Lucilene Gonzales e José Carlos Marques. Ele compreende uma série de artigos que exploram diferentes aspectos da comunicação, design, e consumo na era digital. Os temas abordados incluem o impacto da economia compartilhada no mercado de streaming no Brasil, a inclusão no design gráfico, e o papel da publicidade na promoção da saúde, entre outros. Este livro é parte de uma série originada no Congresso Internacional Media Ecology and Image Studies, refletindo pesquisas de várias nacionalidades. É uma obra relevante para estudantes e profissionais de comunicação, design, e estudos de mídia, oferecendo insights contemporâneos sobre como a tecnologia e a mídia moldam o comportamento e as preferências do consumidor.
This volume is the 11th in the Studies in Perception and Action series and contains research presented at the 16th International Conference on Perception and Action (ICPA) meeting in the summer of 2011. ICPA provides a forum for presenting new data, theory, and methodological developments relevant to the ecological approach to perception and action. The forty-nine papers presented in this volume are divided into five Parts and represent the latest developments in ecological psychology research from four continents. In many instances, the contributions to Studies volumes reflect the first appearance of new ideas in a scientific venue. As a result, this book contains the most recent and cutting-edge research in perception and action. This volume will appeal to individuals who follow the research literature in ecological psychology, as well as those interested in perception, perceptual development, human movement dynamics, social processes, and human factors.
This book is an attempt to advance the discussion and improve our understanding about the effects of aging and movement disorders on motor control during walking and postural tasks. Despite these activities are performed daily, there is a high requirement of motor and neural systems in order to perform both tasks efficiently. Both walking and posture require a complex interaction of musculoskeletal and neural systems. However, the mechanisms used to control these tasks, as well as how they are planned and coordinated, are still a question of discussion among health professionals and researchers. In addition, this discussion is more interesting when the effects of aging are included in the co...
This book focuses on emerging issues in usability, interface design, human–computer interaction, user experience and assistive technology. It highlights research aimed at understanding human interaction with products, services and systems, and focuses on finding effective approaches for improving user experience. It also discusses key issues in designing and providing assistive devices and services to individuals with disabilities or impairment, to assist mobility, communication, positioning, environmental control and daily living. The book covers modelling as well as innovative design concepts, with a special emphasis on user-centered design, and design for specific populations, particularly the elderly. Virtual reality, digital environments, heuristic evaluation and forms of device interface feedback of (e.g. visual and haptic) are also among the topics covered. Based on the AHFE 2018 Conference on Usability & User Experience and the AHFE 2018 Conference on Human Factors and Assistive Technology, held on July 21–25, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA, this book reports on cutting-edge findings, research methods and user-centred evaluation approaches.

O campo científico do Design, por suas características transdisciplinares e sua abrangência (quase) ilimitada tem se desenvolvido no Brasil e no mundo, de forma cada vez mais robusta e, ao mesmo tempo, instigante. A robustez da área ocorre, especialmente, em decorrência do estabelecimento de questionamentos cada vez mais representativos das demandas sociais e tecnológicas de nossa sociedade; de proposições cada vez mais assertivas e fundamentadas em teorias que orbitam a área; e por práticas e técnicas metodológicas embasadas em outras estruturas já estabelecidas da pesquisa científica. Por outro lado, o aspecto "desafiador" é inerente à área, a qual necessita apresentar res...
