Design in the Era of Industry 4.0, Volume 2 Proceedings of ICoRD 2023 (2024)


Free Download Design in the Era of Industry 4.0, Volume 2: Proceedings of ICoRD 2023 by Amaresh Chakrabarti, Vishal Singh
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 1218 Pages | ISBN : 9819902630 | 284.6 MB
This book showcases cutting-edge research papers from the 9th International Conference on Research into Design (ICoRD 2023) – the largest in India in this area – written by eminent researchers from across the world on design processes, technologies, methods and tools, and their impact on innovation, for supporting design for a connected world. The theme of ICoRD’23 has been ‘Design in the Era of Industry 4.0’. Industry 4.0 signifies the fourth industrial revolution. The first industrial revolution was driven by the introduction of mechanical power such as steam and water engines to replace human and animal labour. The second industrial revolution involved introduction of electrical power and organised labour. The third industrial revolution was powered by introduction of industrial automation. The fourth industrial revolution involves introduction of a combination of technologies to enable connected intelligence and industrial autonomy. The introduction of Industry 4.0 dramatically changes the landscape of innovation, and the way design, the engine of innovation, is carried out. The theme of ICoRD’23 – ‘Design in the Era of Industry 4.0’ -explores how Industry 4.0 concepts and technologies influence the way design is conducted, and how methods, tools, and approaches for supporting design can take advantage of this transformational change that is sweeping across the world. The book is of interest to researchers, professionals, and entrepreneurs working in the areas on industrial design, manufacturing, consumer goods, and industrial management who are interested in the new and emerging methods and tools for design of new products, systems, and services.

The Design of Everyday Things Revised and Expanded Edition [Audiobook] (2024)


Free Download The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition (Audiobook)
English | December 07, 2018 | ASIN: B07L5Y9HND | M4B@64 kbps | 10h 39m | 323 MB
Author: Don Norman | Narrator: Neil Hellegers
Design doesn’t have to be complicated, which is why this guide to human-centered design shows that usability is just as important as aesthetics.
Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious – even liberating – audiobook, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization.

Enchanted Objects Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things


Free Download Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things by David Rose, Corey Brill, Simon & Schuster Audio
English | 2014 | ISBN: B00KWBYBQQ | Format: MP3 / 7 hours and 41 minutes + EPUB | 177 Mb
In the tradition of Who Owns the Future? and The Second Machine Age, an MIT Media Lab scientist imagines how everyday objects can intuit our needs and improve our lives.
We are now standing at the precipice of the next transformative development: The Internet of Things. Soon, connected technology will be embedded in hundreds of everyday objects we already use: our cars, wallets, watches, umbrellas, even our trash cans. These objects will respond to our needs, come to know us, and learn to think on our behalf. David Rose calls these devices – which are just beginning to creep into the marketplace – Enchanted Objects.
Some believe the future will look like more of the same – more smartphones, tablets, screens embedded in every conceivable surface. Rose has a different vision: Technology that atomizes, combining itself with the objects that make up the very fabric of daily living. Such technology will be woven into the background of our environment, enhancing human relationships and channeling desires for omniscience, long life, and creative expression. The enchanted objects of fairy tales and science fiction will enter real life.

A practical, illustrated guide to using the tools of design to create feelings of inclusion, collaboration, and respect in groups of any type or size – a classroom, a work team, an international organization – from Stanford University’s d.school.
"This is a beautiful book. Wise has applied the gift and imagination and lenses of the d.school to one of our most precious questions: how to create belonging." (Priya Parker, author of the Art of Gathering and host of the New York Times podcast Together Apart)
Belonging brings out the best in everyone. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, community organizer, or leader of any sort, your group is unlikely to thrive if the individuals don’t feel welcomed, included, and valued for who they are.
