This book explores the digitization of culture as a means of
experiencing and understanding cultural heritage in Namibia and
from international perspectives. It provides various views and
perspectives on the digitization of culture, the goal being to
stimulate further research, and to rapidly disseminate related
discoveries. Aspects covered here include: virtual and augmented
reality, audio and video technology, art, multimedia and digital
media integration, cross-media technologies, modeling,
visualization and interaction as a means of experiencing and
grasping cultural heritage. Over the past few decades, digitization
has profoundly changed our cultural experience, not only in terms
of digital technology-based access, production and dissemination,
but also in terms of participation and creation, and learning and
partaking in a knowledge society. Computing researchers have
developed a wealth of new digital systems for preserving, sharing
and interacting with cultural resources. The book provides
important information and tools for policy makers, knowledge
experts, cultural and creative industries, communication
scientists, professionals, educators, librarians and artists, as
well as computing scientists and engineers conducting research on
cultural topics.

Recent years have seen a growing number of calls for considering
gender in the design or evaluation of software, websites, or other
digital technology. Calls like these have arisen from an emerging
awareness in HCI of findings from the social sciences that are
relevant to the way people use and design technology. However,
emerging work on bringing together gender research with software
design choices is fragmented across multiple disciplines. This
monograph aims to help bring such works together, by synthesizing
the current state of affairs and future possibilities on how gender
comes together with HCI design. The authors of this monograph
consider inclusive design of technology whatever the gender of its
users of particular importance. This conceptual review provides an
overview of the motivations that have driven research in gender and
inclusive HCI design. The authors review the empirical evidence for
the impact of gender in thinking and behavior which underlies HCI
research and design. They present how HCI design might
inadvertently embed and perpetuate gender stereotypes. They also
present current HCI design approaches to tackle gender stereotypes
and produce gender-inclusive designs. The monograph concludes by
discussing possible future directions in this area.
