The Effect of Gamification on Emotions - The Potential of Facial Recognition in Work Environmentsns
(2015)
Gamification means using video game elements to improve user experience and user engagement in non-game services and applications. This article describes the effects when gamification is used in work contexts. Here we focus on industrial production. We describe how facial recognition can be employed to measure and quantify the effect of gamification on the users’ emotions.
The quantitative results show that gamification significantly reduces both task completion time and error rate. However, the results concerning the effect on emotions are surprising. Without gamification there are not only more unhappy expressions (as to expect) but surprisingly also more happy expressions. Both findings are statistically highly significant.
We think that in redundant production work there are generally more (negative) emotions involved. When there is no gamification happy and unhappy balance each other. In contrast gamification seems to shift the spectrum of moods towards “relaxed”. Especially for work environments such a calm attitude is a desirable effect on the users. Thus our findings support the use of gamification.
Video game developers continuously increase the degree of details and realism in games to create more human-like characters. But increasing the human-likeness becomes a problem in regard to the Uncanny Valley phenomenon that predicts negative feelings of people towards artificial entities. We developed an avatar creation system to examine preferences towards parametrized faces and explore in regard to the Uncanny Valley phenomenon how people design faces that they like or reject. Based on the 3D model of the Caucasian average face, 420 participants generate 1341 faces of positively and negatively associated concepts of both gender. The results show that some characteristics associated with the Uncanny Valley are used to create villains or repulsive faces. Heroic faces get attractive features but are rarely and little stylized. A voluntarily designed face is very similar to the heroine. This indicates that there is a tendency of users to design feminine and attractive but still credible faces.
Energietechnik
(2015)
Kurz und prägant werden die Energieumwandlungsprozesse dargestellt. Die Schwerpunkte reichen von der kompletten Beschreibung der nachhaltigen, erneuerbaren Energietechniken, über Gas- und Dampfturbinen-Kraftwerke sowie Kraft-Wärme-Kälte-Kopplungsanlagen bis hin zur Energieverteilung und zum Kyoto-Protokoll. Zu allen Kapiteln gibt es Aufgaben mit vollständigen Lösungen im Anhang. In der aktuellen Auflage wurden in den Kapiteln 3 und 15 die Zahlenwerte aktualisiert. Kapitel 9 wurde entsprechend der neuen Anbieterstruktur überarbeitet und Kapitel 10 um die Adsorptionstechniken ergänzt. Die Kapitel 17-20 wurden vollständig überarbeitet und stellen den aktuellen Stand der globalen politischen Aspekte dar.
Recent advances in motion recognition allow the development of Context-Aware Assistive Systems (CAAS) for industrial workplaces that go far beyond the state of the art: they can capture a user's movement in real-time and provide adequate feedback. Thus, CAAS can address important questions, like Which part is assembled next? Where do I fasten it? Did an error occur? Did I process the part in time? These new CAAS can also make use of projectors to display the feedback within the corresponding area on the workspace (in-situ). Furthermore, the real-time analysis of work processes allows the implementation of motivating elements (gamification) into the repetitive work routines that are common in manual production. In this chapter, the authors first describe the relevant backgrounds from industry, computer science, and psychology. They then briefly introduce a precedent implementation of CAAS and its inherent problems. The authors then provide a generic model of CAAS and finally present a revised and improved implementation.
Zeitungsverlage haben jahrzehntelang in einem sehr stabilen Marktumfeld agiert, sodass die Kunst darin bestand, das Umfeld möglichst weiterhin konstant zu halten und die bestehenden Märkte und Produkte zu optimieren. Die neuen Medien- und Produktformen, die in dieser Zeit im Publikums- und Werbemarkt aufkamen, wurden bei den lokalen und regionalen Verlagen in das eigene Angebotsspektrum integriert, sodass am Ende im Regelfall ein oftmals kleiner, aber hochprofitabler Medienkonzern ins Internetzeitalter eintrat. Hier kommen nun zunehmend Anforderungen an digitale Geschäftsmodelle auf, die neue Geschäftsmodelle erfordern, die skalierbar sind.
With major intellectual properties there is a long tradition of cross-media value chains -- usually starting with books and comics, then transgressing to film and TV and finally reaching interactive media like video games. In recent years the situation has changed: (1) smaller productions start to establish cross media value chains; (2) there is a trend from sequential towards parallel content production. In this work we describe how the production of a historic documentary takes a cross media approach right from the start. We analyze how this impacts the content creation pipelines with respect to story, audience and realization. The focus of the case study is the impact on the production of a documentary game. In a second step we reflect on the experiences gained so far and derive recommendations for future small-scale cross media productions.

Verlage, die ihr Kernverbreitungsgebiet in lokalen oder regionalen Märkten haben, sind bereits seit Jahrzehnten in diesen Märkten im Werbe- und Nutzermarkt verankert. Beim Aufbau digitaler Geschäftsfelder können die bestehenden Kundenbeziehungen und Erfahrungen dazu benutzt werden, neue Dienste aufzubauen, die die Entwicklung zu mobilen Anwendungen, mit sozialem und lokalem Bezug für Anwendungen (z. B. Apps) mit echtem Informations- oder Gebrauchsmehrwert nutzen.

Alexander von Humboldt, a German scientist and explorer of the 19th century, viewed the natural world holistically and described the harmony of nature among the diversity of the physical world as a conjoining between all physical disciplines. He noted in his diary: “Everything is interconnectedness.”
The main feature of Humboldt’s pioneering work was later named “Humboldtian science”, meaning the accurate study of interconnected real phenomena in order to find a definite law and a dynamic cause.
Following Humboldt's idea of nature, an Internet edition of his works must preserve the author’s original intention, retain an awareness of all relevant works, and still adhere to the requirements of scholarly edition.
At the present time, however, the highly unconventional form of his publications has undermined the awareness and a comprehensive study of Humboldt’s works.
Digital libraries should supply dynamic links to sources, maps, images, graphs and relevant texts. New forms of interaction and synthesis between humanistic texts and scientific observation need to be created.
Information technology is the only way to do justice to the broad range of visions, descriptions and the idea of nature of Humboldt’s legacy. It finally leads to virtual research environments as an adequate concept to redesign our digital archives, not only for Humboldt’s documents, but for all interconnected data.
