Book SynopsisThe Handbook of Multimodal-Multisensor Interfaces provides the first authoritative resource on what has become the dominant paradigm for new computer interfaces-user input involving new media (speech, multi-touch, hand and body gestures, facial expressions, writing) embedded in multimodal-multisensor interfaces.This three-volume handbook is written by international experts and pioneers in the field. It provides a textbook, reference, and technology roadmap for professionals working in this and related areas.This third volume focuses on state-of-the-art multimodal language and dialogue processing, including semantic integration of modalities. The development of increasingly expressive embodied agents and robots has become an active test bed for coordinating multimodal dialogue input and output, including processing of language and nonverbal communication. In addition, major application areas are featured for commercializing multimodal-multisensor systems, including automotive, robotic, manufacturing, machine translation, banking, communications, and others. These systems rely heavily on software tools, data resources, and international standards to facilitate their development. For insights into the future, emerging multimodal-multisensor technology trends are highlighted in medicine, robotics, interaction with smart spaces, and similar areas. Finally, this volume discusses the societal impact of more widespread adoption of these systems, such as privacy risks and how to mitigate them. The handbook chapters provide a number of walk-through examples of system design and processing, information on practical resources for developing and evaluating new systems, and terminology and tutorial support for mastering this emerging field. In the final section of this volume, experts exchange views on a timely and controversial challenge topic, and how they believe multimodal-multisensor interfaces need to be equipped to most effectively advance human performance during the next decade.Table of Contents Preface Figure Credits Introduction: Toward the Design, Construction, and Deployment of Multimodal-Multisensor Interfaces MULTIMODAL LANGUAGE AND DIALOGUE PROCESSING Multimodal Integration for Interactive Conversational Systems Multimodal Conversational Interaction with Robots Situated Interaction Software Platforms and Toolkits for Building Multimodal Systems and Applications Challenge Discussion: Advancing Multimodal Dialogue Nonverbal Behavior in Multimodal Performances MULTIMODAL BEHAVIOR Ergonomics for the Design of Multimodal Interfaces Early Integration for Movement Modeling in Latent Spaces Standardized Representations and Markup Languages for Multimodal Interaction Multimodal Databases EMERGING TRENDS AND APPLICATIONS Medical and Health Systems Automotive Multimodal Human-Machine Interface Embedded Multimodal Interfaces in Robotics: Applications, Future Trends, and Societal Implications Multimodal Dialogue Processing for Machine Translation Commercialization of Multimodal Systems Privacy Concerns of Multimodal Sensor Systems Index Biographies Volume 3 Glossary

Book SynopsisTim Schleicher erarbeitet Empfehlungen zur Gestaltung von Mensch-Roboter-Schnittstellen, die die gebrauchstaugliche Anweisung von kollaborierenden Robotern in variantenreichen Produktionssystemen erlauben. Roboterfähigkeiten können durch eine entsprechende Positionierung an frei wählbaren Positionen an Bauteilen und durch eine entsprechende Parametrierung in verschiedenen Ausprägungen genutzt werden. Die Programmierung erfolgt somit durch die Anweisung des Roboters durch die Übergabe des Arbeitsortes und der Arbeitsparameter, z.B. die Übergabe einer Polieraufgabe an stets anderen Bauteilpositionen und in unterschiedlichen Intensitäten.Table of ContentsMensch-Roboter-Schnittstellen (MRS) zur Anweisung kollaborierender Roboter.- Grundlegende und anwendungsspezifische Anforderungen an die Gestaltung von gebrauchstauglichen MRS.- Iterative Gestaltung und Evaluation von MRS in einer instruktiven Mensch-Roboter-Kollaboration (iMRK).

Book SynopsisDas informative und spannende Buch richtet sich an eine Leserschaft aus Praxis, Forschung und Lehre in der Psychologie, Gestaltung und Informatik. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele zeigen die Autoren wie psychologisches Wissen gezielt für die erlebnis- und wohlbefindensorientierte Gestaltung interaktiver Produkte eingesetzt werden kann.Ob im Privaten oder auf der Arbeit: Interaktive Produkte, wie unsere Lieblingswebsites oder die Apps auf unseren Smartphones, müssen praktisch sein und Freude machen. Die Nutzung soll zum positiven Erlebnis werden (User Experience, UX). Um dieser Forderung gerecht zu werden, beschäftigen sich nun immer mehr Psychologen mit der menschengerechten Gestaltung interaktiver Produkte. Als User Experience Professionals oder Produktmanager arbeiten vielleicht auch Sie im interdisziplinären Team an der Nahtstelle von Design, angewandter Psychologie und Informatik.Im ersten Teil finden Sie Argumente, Positionen und aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zum Thema "erlebnisorientierte Gestaltung", wie beispielsweise "Freude und Wohlbefinden als Gestaltungsziel" und "Ästhetik der Interaktion". Ein Arbeitsmodell soll dabei helfen, das Wissen im Gestaltungsalltag einzusetzen. Auch im zweiten Teils des Buches liegt der Fokus auf der praktischen Anwendung. Hier finden Sie Methoden und Werkzeuge für die psychologisch fundierte Gestaltung von Interaktion und Erlebnis. So bietet dieses Buch sowohl ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes wie auch anwendungsbezogenes Repertoire für die Gestaltung und Evaluation von Interaktion – damit interaktive Produkte unseren Alltag in Zukunft noch mehr bereichern.Trade Review“... Tatsächlich finden alle neun implizierten Teilgruppen von PsychologInnen in der Praxis bis zu InformatikerInnen in der Lehre hilfreiche Anregungen für ihre jeweiligen Tätigkeiten. ... Insgesamt bietet dieses Buch eine ausgezeichnete Übersicht des aktuellen Standes erlebnis- und wohlbefindensorientierter Produktgestaltung ...” (Prof. Dr. Stephan Weibelzahl, in: Zeitschrift für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie, Jg. 63, Heft 1, 2019)Table of ContentsVorwort.- 1 Die Gestaltung interaktiver Produkte als Berufsfeld.- 2 Vom interaktiven Produkt zum positiven Erlebnis.- 3 Ein erstes Modell erlebnisbezogener Produktqualitäten: hedonisch versus pragmatisch.- 4 Erlebnis- und wohlbefindensorientiertes Gestalten: ein Arbeitsmodell.- 5 Ästhetik der Interaktion.- 6 Werkzeuge für Gestaltung und Evaluation auf der Interaktionsebene.- 7 Werkzeuge für Gestaltung und Evaluation auf der Erlebnisebene.- 8 Werkzeuge für Prototyping und Konzeptevaluation.- 9 Fazit und Ausblick.
