New media is like a giant jigsaw puzzle; a combination of different skills and media. We know all about the pieces, but the biggest problem is putting them all together to get the 'big picture' of new media design. Design for New Media gives a unified approach to looking at the area, covering both the separate elements, and putting them in the context of new media design as a whole. The book is divided into four sections; The first section considers some of the issues that arise from designing with new and developing technology. The author then moves on to look at the 'building blocks' of new media (sound, colour and animation), and their role in the design of a new media product is explained. The third section covers interaction design and those elements of new media that are connected with the use and understanding of the product. Finally, the process of design itself is considered in a practical way; how do you take that first step in designing a new media product?

This updated and expanded fourth edition retains the strength of previous editions while adding new material relevant for the changing work environment. The book describes the latest industry trends and incorporates them into a project management framework. By developing practical skills it aids the project manager's own development, and provides a coherent overview of the issues that affect all in the converging industries of communications, media and computing.

In recent years, falsification and digital modification of video clips, images, as well as textual contents have become widespread and numerous, especially when deepfake technologies are adopted in many sources. Due to adopted deepfake techniques, a lot of content currently cannot be recognized from its original sources. As a result, the field of study previously devoted to general multimedia forensics has been revived. The Handbook of Research on Advanced Practical Approaches to Deepfake Detection and Applications discusses the recent techniques and applications of illustration, generation, and detection of deepfake content in multimedia. It introduces the techniques and gives an overview of deepfake applications, types of deepfakes, the algorithms and applications used in deepfakes, recent challenges and problems, and practical applications to identify, generate, and detect deepfakes. Covering topics such as anomaly detection, intrusion detection, and security enhancement, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for cyber security specialists, government officials, law enforcement, business leaders, students and faculty of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book investigates multiple facets of the emerging discipline of Tangible, Embodied, and Embedded Interaction (TEI). This is a story of atoms and bits. We explore the interweaving of the physical and digital, toward understanding some of their wildly varying hybrid forms and behaviors. Spanning conceptual, philosophical, cognitive, design, and technical aspects of interaction, this book charts both history and aspirations for the future of TEI. We examine and celebrate diverse trailblazing works, and provide wide-ranging conceptual and pragmatic tools toward weaving the animating fires of computation and technology into evocative tangible forms. We also chart a path forward for TEI engagement with broader societal and sustainability challenges that will profoundly (re)shape our children's and grandchildren's futures. We invite you all to join this quest.

The use of digital images in today's modernized market is rapidly increasing throughout organizations due to the prevalence of social media and digital content. Companies who wish to distribute their content over the internet face numerous security risks such as copyright violation. Advanced methods for the protection and security of digital data are constantly emerging, and up-to-date research in this area is lacking. Advancements in Security and Privacy Initiatives for Multimedia Images is a collection of innovative research on the methods and applications of contemporary techniques for the security and copyright protection of images and their distribution. While highlighting topics including simulation-based security, digital watermarking protocols, and counterfeit prevention, this book is ideally designed for security analysts, researchers, developers, programmers, academicians, practitioners, students, executives, educators, and policymakers seeking current research on modern security improvements for multimedia images.

3D image reconstruction is used in many fields, such as medicine, entertainment, and computer science. This highly demanded process comes with many challenges, such as images becoming blurry by atmospheric turbulence, getting snowed with noise, or becoming damaged within foreign regions. It is imperative to remain well-informed with the latest research in this field. Recent Advances in 3D Imaging, Modeling, and Reconstruction is a collection of innovative research on the methods and common techniques of image reconstruction as well as the accuracy of these methods. Featuring coverage on a wide range of topics such as ray casting, holographic techniques, and machine learning, this publication is ideally designed for graphic designers, computer engineers, medical professionals, robotics engineers, city planners, game developers, researchers, academicians, and students.

For junior- to graduate-level courses in computer graphics. Assuming no background in computer graphics, this junior- to graduate-level textbook presents basic principles for the design, use, and understanding of computer graphics systems and applications. The authors, authorities in their field, offer an integrated approach to two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics topics. A comprehensive explanation of the popular OpenGL programming package, along with C++ programming examples illustrates applications of the various functions in the OpenGL basic library and the related GLU and GLUT packages.

In just the last few years, the visualization industry has arguably become the fastest-growing 3D industry and may soon overtake all others in total number of users. Just as the use of computer-aided design became the norm for nearly all architectural, engineering, and construction firms in the 1990s, 3D visualizations have become standard practice today. Autodesk (R) 3ds Max (R) is a powerful and versatile 3D software package that requires a thorough understanding in order to use it effectively. 3D Modeling Using Autodesk 3ds Max With Rendering View considers the challenges of learning 3ds Max (R), focuses on the critical aspects of the program needed to produce stunning architectural visualizations, and discusses some of the fastest and most efficient ways to accomplish tasks. Covering a range of topics such as camera rendering and standard light effects, this reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, scholars, practitioners, industry professionals, instructors, and students.

In the present digital world, the growing number of internet users has made web quality an important factor for accessing online services and increasing the customer base of an organization. The advances in information technology and the internet have opened new dimensions in many different industries. Currently, accessibility research is an active area of research. Specifically, access for everyone regardless of disability has become an essential aspect of web development. As webpages will be used by both nondisabled and disabled individuals, web pages must be designed with a technical criterion that fits universal needs. The ambition to make websites barrier-free is not limited to standards and laws but has been on the agendas of all governments and public agencies recently, and this universality of websites is a fundamental area of research. App and Website Accessibility Developments and Compliance Strategies intends to provide theoretical and practical contributions for the accessibility of websites for both disabled and nondisabled individuals. This book discusses how web quality parameters like usability and accessibility are being evaluated for their universal design and accessibility by different types of disabled individuals. The chapters cover the current methodologies for evaluation, accessible design criteria, inclusive practices in web and app development, and policies and interventions across different types of websites. This book is ideally intended for web developers, designers, software engineers, IT specialists, social organizations, governments, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students in the usability and accessibility of websites for disabled individuals.
