Extended Reality Solutions to Support Older Adults: Potential Applications for Users With and Without Cognitive Impairments (Synthesis Lectures on Technology and Health) by Walter R. Boot, Andrew Dilanchian, Saleh Kalantari English | October 29, 2024 | ISBN: 3031692195 | 95 pages | True ePUB, PDF | 13 Mb This book explores one way in which recent hardware and software advances have placed humanity on the precipice of a significant shift in how technology can shape our interactions with the world around us: the application of transformative extended reality (XR) technology solutions to support the health, wellness, quality of life, and independence of older adults living with and without cognitive impairments. The book provides an overview of the state-of-the art research on XR-based solutions utilizing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), challenges that can addressed with these technologies, evidence to date on the efficacy of these solutions, and the nature of these solutions and challenges to their implementation. It explores practical ways XR can be integrated into health and lifestyle maintenance activities for older populations in a diversity of situations through thematic chapters using realistic personas and scenarios. These thematic chapters are organized around the AGE-WELL Challenge Area topics, including staying connected, healthy lifestyles and wellness, mobility, and cognitive health, as well as an additional emphasis on leisure. Other chapters provide guidance on important issues to consider when designing XR-based solutions for older adults, how to evaluate and test XR solutions, the implementation of the user-centered design process, and the book concludes by highlighting unanswered questions and future research directions. This book approaches XR for older adults with and without cognitive impairments from the authors' diverse research backgrounds in psychology, engineering, gerontology, and design. It will be of interest to academic and industry professionals as well as care providers considering the potential for XR interventions now and in the future.  Expressive Iteration by Kenny K.N.

Exploring the Pedagogy of Learning and Playing Outdoors (Towards an Ethical Praxis in Early Childhood) by Mehmet Mart, Georgia Gessiou, Jane Waters-Davies English | February 14, 2025 | ISBN: 1032870184 | 162 pages | True ePUB, PDF | 3.11 Mb Focusing on the empirical evidence base for pedagogical decisions taken when children are playing and learning outside, this groundbreaking book examines the intention and purpose of children's outdoor playful activity and the associated issues of pedagogy. Chapters address questions about the role of the adult in children's learning outside in a manner that is inclusive in nature, by recognising the varied contexts in which children's playful activity outside takes place. Reflecting multiple cultural contexts, chapters consider social and physical aspects to ensure value systems are visible and critically considered. The book acknowledges the continuum of children's outdoor experience from highly structured activity to free play outside. It also examines the existing evidence base about children's outdoor play, including a consideration of how adults construct and respond to children's playful activity outside to realise the associated benefits. With reference throughout to many international contexts, this book reminds us of the shaping force of cultural practices and beliefs about children's playful activity outside and will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate audiences studying early childhood education.

Explorez la richesse de Histoire de l'art de l'Egypte ancienne de Elie Faure, Victoria Charles Français | 15 octobre 2024 | ISBN: 9798894050065 | True EPUB | 80 pages | 13 MB L'art égyptien est peut-être le plus impersonnel qui soit. L'artiste s'efface. Mais il a un sens inné de la vie, un sens si directement ému et si limpide que tout ce qu'il décrit de la vie semble défini par ce sens, issu du geste naturel, de l'attitude exacte, où l'on ne voit plus de raideur. Son impersonnalité ressemble à celle des arbres qui s'inclinent dans le vent d'un seul mouvement et sans résistance, ou à celle de l'eau qui se ride en cercles égaux allant tous dans le même sens. De loin, l'art égyptien semble immuable et éternel comme lui-même. De près, il offre, comme celui de tous les autres peuples, le spectacle de grandes évolutions, de progrès vers la liberté d'expression, de recherches dans le hiératisme imposé. |
