This book collects contributions which showcase the impact of new augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies considered jointly in the fields of cultural heritage and innovative design. AR is an alternative path of analysis and communication if applied to several fields of research, in particular if related to space and artifacts in it. This happens because the neural network development strengthens the relationship between augmented reality and artificial intelligence, creating processes close to human thought in shorter times. In the last years, the AR/AI expansion and the future scenarios have raised a deep trans-disciplinary speculation. The disciplines of representation (drawing, surveying, visual communication), as a convergence place of multidisciplinary theoretical and applicative studies related to architecture, city, environment, tangible and intangible cultural heritage, are called to contribute to the international debate. The book chapters deal with augmented reality and artificial intelligence, analyzing their connections as research tools for knowing the environment. In particular, the topics focus on the intersection between real and virtual world and on the heuristic role of drawing in the enhancement and management of cultural heritage, in planning and monitoring the architecture, the environment, or the infrastructures. Scientists involved in AR and AI research applied separately or together in the field of cultural heritage, architectural design, urban planning, and infrastructures analysis, as well as members of public and private organizations make up interdisciplinary groups that fuel the discussion focusing on the priorities and aims of the research related to the disciplines of representation.

As technology continues to advance, the Internet is evolving into what is often referred to as Web 3.0. This book aims to achieve three main objectives, first, it introduces Web 3.0 systematically and comprehensively, providing readers with a foundational understanding of its concepts and characteristics. Second, it analyzes the inevitability and development necessity of Web 3.0, as well as its potential future possibilities and transformative effects. Finally, it explores Web 3.0 through comparative analysis, discussing its relationship with the metaverse as well as how individuals and organizations can seize the opportunities presented by Web 3.0. Various topics related to Web 3.0, including its infrastructure, development facilities, scenario applications, technology stacks, and industry applications such as decentralized applications (DApps) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms are presented in the book. It delves into the ecosystem of Web 3.0, discussing decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), open finance (DeFi), cryptocurrencies, token economy, digital identity, creator economy, attention economy, and cyber-physical and human systems. Additionally, it addresses governance issues, security challenges, development challenges, and legal and regulatory aspects associated with Web 3.0. Overall, Web 3.0: Concept, Content and Context provides readers with a comprehensive understanding of Web 3.0, its potential implications, and the opportunities for new industry models and business opportunities in the evolving Internet era. .

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.
