Archaeologies of Touch Interfacing with Haptics from Electricity to

＜p＞＜strong＞A material history of haptics technology that raises new questions about the relationship between touch and media＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Since the rise of radio and television, we have lived in an era defined increasingly by the electronic circulation of images and sounds. But the flood of new computing technologies known as haptic interfacesーwhich use electricity, vibration, and force feedback to stimulate the sense of touchーoffering an alternative way of mediating and experiencing reality.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Archaeologies of Touch＜/em＞, David Parisi offers the first full history of these increasingly vital technologies, showing how the efforts of scientists and engineers over the past three hundred years have gradually remade and redefined our sense of touch. Through lively analyses of electrical machines, videogames, sex toys, sensory substitution systems, robotics, and human?computer interfaces, Parisi shows how the materiality of touch technologies has been shaped by attempts to transform humans into more efficient processors of information.＜/p＞ ＜p＞With haptics becoming ever more central to emerging virtual-reality platforms (immersive bodysuits loaded with touch-stimulating actuators), wearable computers (haptic messaging systems like the Apple Watch’s Taptic Engine), and smartphones (vibrations that emulate the feel of buttons and onscreen objects), ＜em＞Archaeologies of Touch＜/em＞ offers a timely and provocative engagement with the long history of touch technology that helps us confront and question the power relations underpinning the project of giving touch its own set of technical media.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
