Analysis Of An E-Learning Augmented Environment: A Semiotic Approach To Augmented Reality Applications

posted in: augmented reality, essays | 0

In this paper, we analyze Augmented Reality (AR) in the context of a semiotic theory of new media. So, we will analyze the new forms of communication which are produced with AR technology, that is, the Augmented Environments generated by applications running on head-mounted devices created with AR technology. And we intend to use semiotics of media to conduct such analysis. We believe that the semiotic approach to Augmented environments can greatly increase the knowledge on AR and, consequently, help designers, developers, analysts, and users to better understand the new ways of perceiving the world offered by AR.

C’era una volta… la passione infinita: breve storia del cellulare

posted in: essays | 1

Lo compriamo, lo vestiamo con colori nuovi, lo coccoliamo, lo ricompriamo sempre più piccolo, sempre più multifunzionale, col maxi-display a colori e videocamera incorporata. Uno non ci basta, ne vogliamo due, tre: per il lavoro, per gli amici, per i pochi intimi. Ormai è talmente parte della nostra vita che soltanto una manciata di irriducibili riesce a farne a meno, e diventa quasi impossibile pensare a un mondo senza cellulari. Eppure, questa mania per il cellulare che, a ben vedere, ha quasi le forme dell’ossessione, è recente, recentissima. Non occorre andare troppo indietro nel tempo per ricordare un’epoca senza cellulari. Bastano dieci anni. A quei tempi lo squillo dei cellulari era un evento raro. Chi li possedeva era guardato con sospetto, fastidio quasi. Che ci faranno? Ci chiedevamo. Con chi parleranno? Che interesse avranno ad essere sempre rintracciabili?

Hypertextuality

posted in: essays, hypertext | 0

By progressively extending their influence on a larger number of users, hypertexts, and, in general, a hypertextual logic not only will have a substantial role in reshaping the criteria through which information is created and exchanged, but will also dismantle the solidity of many paradigms now in use on the notions of text and textual analysis, and on the relationships between the authors and readers/users of multimedial documents.

The Shaping of Hypertextual Narrative

posted in: essays, hypertext | 2

I have already discussed the concept of hypertext in the past when I tried to analyze what hypertexts are, how they work, and how they can be used. I then also described the changes hypertexts are going to introduce in our perception of texts. Placed within the new electronic paradigm, hypertext will introduce substantial changes in our way of dealing with information, of perceiving, creating, preserving, and representing knowledge; in short: our way of thinking. I thus would like to focus here on a special kinds of hypertexts: the narrative hypertexts.
