"Working with the Image. Description Processing Prediction" was the motto of this meeting, aiming to point out the role of Visual Language not only in describing reality, but also in supporting the thinking processes in Science (prediction), in Art (invention), in Technical studies (prevision), and in identifying and working on both visible and invisible phenomena. As John Barrow states, "So often a picture is better than a thousand words", and "The visual language is the most natural, while the other language could reasonably be considered as 'postscripts' to the human story". The essays included in the volume (from lectures, the poster session, interviews and round table) aim to show the wide range of technical possibilities connected with the present use of the Image, especially thanks to Computer Graphics, from 3D Modeling to Augmented Reality, while also offering a glimpse of interesting theoretical perspectives. In the end, as noted by Martin Heidegger, the word "theory" not only comes from the Ancient Greek verb "theoreo", that is "to see, to observe", but it also echoes the words "theos" and "thea", namely "god" and "goddess", and above all, it shares the root with the term "aletheia", which is the "truth", that is, something not far from the ultimate goal of research. The volume includes an interview with the editorial staff of the science magazine FOCUS. 606 $aMathematics 606 $aComputers, Special purpose 606 $aOptical data processing 606 $aUser interfaces (Computer systems) 606 $aPhysics 606 $aMathematics in Art and Architecture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M34000 606 $aSpecial Purpose and Application-Based Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13030 606 $aComputer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and Graphics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22005 606 $aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18067 606 $aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000 615 0$aMathematics. 615 0$aComputers, Special purpose. 615 0$aOptical data processing. 615 0$aUser interfaces (Computer systems) 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aMathematics in Art and Architecture. 615 24$aSpecial Purpose and Application-Based Systems. 615 24$aComputer Imaging, Vision, Pattern Recognition and Graphics. 615 24$aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction. 615 24$aHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physics. 676 $a300 702 $aCocchiarella$b Luigi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299781203321 996 $aVisual language of technique$91520296 997 $aUNINA
