Ambiguity in utopian XR-gamesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 1-11 - 2023
Wolfgang Höhl
Utopian images in XR-games are often ambiguous. How can ambiguity be consciously designed in virtual worlds? What are the design principles for game designers? Ambiguity arises from discontinuity and decontextualization, from the deliberate omission of facts, and from the skillful superimposition of contradictory codes. An ontology of interactive media explains the elusive visual poetry and image ...... hiện toàn bộ

José María Blanco Navarro, Jéssica Cohen Villaverde
Terrorism is a clear context of rapid change, greater complexity and genuine uncertainties.

J. C. F. de Winter, D. Dodou, R. Happee, Y. B. Eisma
Vehicles are increasingly equipped with sensors that measure the state of the vehicle and surrounding road users. Although most of these sensor data currently remain local to the vehicle, the data could be shared with the aim to improve road safety. We postulate that there is a range of scenarios regarding data sharing, with two extremes: In scenario 1, the acquired shared data will be analysed re...... hiện toàn bộ

A scientific enquiry into the futureSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 1-9 - 2014
Gabriel, Johannes
Thinking about the future in a scientific manner is often characterised by an illusion of knowledge, leading to precarious one-sidedness and false conclusions. The reasons for this are misinterpretations of core scientific concepts as well as vested interests in knowledge creation and scientific advice; these misinterpretations and interfering interests can prevail because there is no coherent set...... hiện toàn bộ
