Sommario/riassunto |
|
Background to the conference: the WRR-report on Islamic activism. In recent years violent Islamic activism has unleashed a perilous process of action, reaction, and confrontation. Not only international relations, but also relations between population groups within states are under great pressure. Fear of Islam has also increased in Europe along with mistrust between Muslims and non-Muslims. Opinion leaders, politicians, and citizens render harsh judgments regarding 'Islam', which is often considered incompatible with core values like democracy and human rights. In contrast, all the contributors to this conference |

report call for a far more constructive European response to the issues raised, one that supports the EU's fundamental values of promoting democracy and human rights rather than focusing on short-term stability and security. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides a concise overview of VR systems and their cybersickness effects, giving a description of possible reasons and existing solutions to reduce or avoid them. Moreover, the book explores the impact that understanding how efficiently our brains are producing a coherent and rich representation of the perceived outside world would have on helping VR technics to be more efficient and friendly to use. Getting Rid of Cybersickness will help readers to understand the underlying technics and social stakes involved, from |

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
engineering design to autonomous vehicle motion sickness to video games, with the hope of providing an insight of VR sickness induced by the emerging immersive technologies. This book will therefore be of interest to academics, researchers and designers within the field of VR, as well as industrial users of VR and driving simulators. |
