Bridging museum mission to visitors’ experience: activity, meanings, interactions, technology

In recent years, the contribution of various disciplines and professionals (i.e., from marketing, computer science, psychology, and pedagogy) to museum management has encouraged the development of a new conception of museology. Specifically, psychology has affected the overall conception of museum and the visitors toward a more holistic vision of the museum experience as a complexity of memory, personal drives, group identity, meaning-making process, as well as leisure preferences.

Digital biomarker-based individualized prognosis for people at risk of dementia

Background: Research investigating treatments and interventions for cognitive decline fail due to difficulties in accurately recognizing behavioral signatures in the presymptomatic stages of the disease. For this validation study, we took our previously constructed digital biomarker-based prognostic models and focused on generalizability and robustness of the models.

Parametric Surfaces for Augmented Architecture representation

Augmented Reality (AR) represents a growing communication channel, responding to the need to expand reality with additional information, offering easy and engaging access to digital data. AR for architectural representation allows a simple interaction with 3D models, facilitating spatial understanding of complex volumes and topological relationships between parts, overcoming some limitations related to Virtual Reality.

Technology spreading in healthcare. A novel era in medicine and surgery?

ABSTRACTBackground:Surgery and technological innovation have begun to move at the speed of light, with innovations and discoveries such as virtual reality, robotic systems, navigation surgery, and 5G networks radically revolutionizing the surgical world as well as the medical world in general, bringing significant benefits for healthcare professionals and patients alike. Technology will increasingly be a crucial element in surgical and medical development. This new therapeutic approach aims to enhance human–computer interaction by putting a new “patient” figure at its center.

El futuro de las ciudades digitales: retos, oportunidades y prospectivas

Starting from the definition and the analysis of the smart city notion, this article will introduce the main theoretical sociological approaches upon the topic in object. Digital technologies are increasing transforming social behaviors, social relations, and lately even spatial interaction. The city as a place of production, consumption and prosumption thanks to the digitalization is increasing defined as a hybrid space, a mix of physical and digital con-texts. The article will develop an analysis of the hybridization of the city spaces through a series of case studies.
