This book concisely describes the technologies, human perception, and cognition issues relevant to autonomous vehicles. It also gives an insight in the changes bring about our future everyday lives.Autonomous vehicles are the future of the automobile industry. Automated driving (AD), also called self-driving, raises however several multiple questions, among them those of user safety and acceptation. Comprehensive HMI system design, with windshield display technics, will be necessary to deal with driving task delegations, bringing the use of VR or augmented reality (AR) technologies. In addition, the use of VR for all the vehicle interiors will progressively be proposed for entertainment, online business activities and for modified visual motion perception to alleviate car sickness, a form of motion sickness. Indeed, car sickness is already well known for many passengers, especially when reading or operating smartphones or other display devices. It is called to increase significantly with the introduction of autonomous vehicles where all users will be for long periods in various sitting positions. These two new trends, AD and VR, are already modifying our relationship with the world and the society. All together, they will change our way of life forever. The book will be of interest to professionals in the auto industry, researchers in automotive engineering and computer science and all those interested in the future of transport.

These cloud computing environments give the impression of boundless computingresources to cloud clients, allowing them to modify their resource consumption rateaccording to demand. Cloud computing environments include two sorts of actors: cloudproviders and cloud users [1]. On the one hand, providers keep massive amounts ofcomputer resources in massive data centers and rent them out to customers on a per-usebasis. On the other hand, other users have apps with variable amounts of load and rentresources from providers to run them. The connection between providers and consumersfollows the shape indicated in Figure 1.1 in the vast majority of cases. A user sends aresource request to a provider first. When the provider receives the request, it looks forresources to fulfill it and assigns them to the user who made the request, which aregenerally virtual computers (VMs).The user then uses the assigned resources to executeprograms and pays for the resources used. Once the user has done using the resources,they are returned to the provider. The fact that these people are usually from differentbackgrounds and have different interests is a fascinating aspect of the cloud computingecosystem.Most providers want to make as much money as possible with as little investment asfeasible. They may want to make the most of their computer resources for this reason,such as hosting as many virtual machines as possible on a single system. To put it anotherway, providers try to get the most out of their resources. Putting too many virtual machineson a single computer, on the other hand, may cause them to interact, resulting in poorand/or unpredictable performance that irritates users. Users, on the other hand, want theirduties done for the least amount of money possible, or to put it another way, they want tomaximize their cost effectiveness.

Cultural heritage refers to the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that is inherited from previous generations. It is essential to preserve and protect the cultural heritage by passing it from one generation to the next generation. Virtual reality (VR) technologies create a virtual environment with realistic sense of vision, hearing, and touch. VR plays an important role in the protection and preservation of cultural heritage. During the process of research, exhibition and inheritance, cultural heritage may be damaged or corroded. This damage can be prevented by the use of VR. The three-dimensional models of material cultural heritage can be constructed by using the VR technology. It can also be used for virtual reproduction of cultural heritage based on archaeological research data and literature records for sites and remains that have not been excavated or annihilated. VR technology is also used to create a virtual museum that facilitates the protection and dissemination of cultural heritage. This book outlines the role of virtual reality technologies in preserving and protecting cultural heritage. A number of latest researches have been included herein to keep the readers abreast with the most recent concepts in this area of study.

This book examines two topics in the context of product design and enabling technologies: User eXperience (UX) and eXtended Reality (XR). UX regards the ways in which people interact with the environment and with objects and is considered of primary importance in many contexts. When developing new products, UX must be carefully designed and evaluated directly with the users. Prototyping is a well-known, effective, and widely used practice for design evaluation. The book describes how prototyping based on XR technologies, including Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality, is a suitable approach for testing ideas and products without fully physically building them. The major benefits, which are well explained and demonstrated in this book, consist in allowing users to experience products, including their appearance, functions, and usability, in a digital context that can be easily modified and customized according to the users¿ feedback and the context of use.The audience of the book includes graduate students who wish to learn more about prototyping methods and technologies and product and digital application designers who can deepen their knowledge on advanced digital technologies for evaluating the designs of products and experiences.
