The Internet is developing quicker in Asia than in any other region of the world. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the information society in an Asian context, and the impact of these technologies in Asia. These impacts are inevitably uneven and conditioned by issues of telecommunications infrastructure, government policies, cultural and social values, and economic realities. The combination of original research, theoretical innovation and detailed case studies make this an important book for scholars and students in Asian studies, media studies, communication studies and sociology.
As virtual reality approaches mainstream consumer use, new research
and innovations in the field have impacted how we view and can use
this technology across a wide range of industries. Advancements in
this technology have led to recent breakthroughs in sound,
perception, and visual processing that take virtual reality to new
dimensions. As such, research is needed to support the adoption of
these new methods and applications. Cases on Immersive Virtual
Reality Techniques is an essential reference source that discusses
new applications of virtual reality and how they can be integrated
with immersive techniques and computer resources. Featuring
research on topics such as 3D modeling, cognitive load, and motion
cueing, this book is ideally designed for educators, academicians,
researchers, and students seeking coverage on the applications of
collaborative virtual environments.

The expansion of Western education overseas has been both an
economic success, if the rise in numbers of American, European, and
Australian universities rushing to set up campuses in Asia and the
Middle East is to serve as a measure, and a source of great
consternation for academics concerned with norms of free inquiry
and intellectual freedom. Faculty at Western campuses have resisted
the opening of new satellite campuses, fearing that their
colleagues those campuses would be less free to teach and engage in
intellectual inquiry, and that students could be denied the free
inquiry that is normally associated with liberal arts education.
Critics point to the denial of visas to academics wishing to carry
out research on foreign campuses, the sudden termination of
employment at schools in both the Middle East and Asia, or the
last-minute cancellation of courses at those schools, as evidence
that they were correctly suspicious of the possibility that liberal
arts programs could exist in those regions. Supporters of the
project have argued that opening up foreign campuses would bring
free inquiry to closed societies, improve educational opportunities
for students who would otherwise be denied them, or, perhaps less
frequently, that free inquiry will be no less pressured than in the
United States or Western Europe. Normative Tensions examines the
consequences not only of expansion overseas, but the increased
opening of universities to foreign students.
