Ultrasound Mid-Air Haptics for Touchless Interfaces (2024)


Free Download Ultrasound Mid-Air Haptics for Touchless Interfaces by Orestis Georgiou, William Frier, Euan Freeman, Claudio Pacchierotti, Takayuki Hoshi

Over the last decade, ultrasound mid-air haptic technology has emerged and rapidly advanced to engage multidisciplinary scientific communities within and adjacent to the haptics and HCI fields. Additionally, this haptic technology has been adopted by a number of industry sectors (e.g., automotive, virtual reality, digital signage, neuroscience research) who appear keen to exploit its unique value proposition: the ability to deliver rich haptic sensations from a distance, without the need to touch, wear or hold anything in order to enhance touchless interfaces, novel applications, and experiences.

How Not to Write a Novel Confessions of a Mid-List Author


Free Download David Armstrong, "How Not to Write a Novel: Confessions of a Mid-List Author"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 0749006803 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.3 mb
Every week, agents and ✅Publishers receive hundreds of manuscripts from would-be authors. Of these, less than one percent will make it into print. David Armstrong was one of the lucky ones – his first crime novel plucked from the slush pile and published to acclaim. But it rapidly became clear to Armstrong that being a published novelist is not always as glamorous as it seems from the outside. There are the depressing, ill-attended readings, the bitchy writers’ conventions, and the bookshops that have never heard of you and don’t stock your book. All of these will be familiar to any writer who, like Armstrong, falls into the category euphemistically known in publishing as ‘mid-list’. The reality is that for every J K Rowling there are 1,000 David Armstrongs; for every writer who is put up in a five-star hotel and flies first class courtesy of their ✅Publisher there are 1,000 who sleep on friends’ floors during book tours and dine at highway service stations… Witty, acerbic and wise, "How Not To Write A Novel" lifts the lid on publishing. From agents to editors, publicists to sales reps, it explains the publishing process – and how to survive it – from the point of view of a non-bestselling writer. A unique book, it is essential reading for anyone who dreams of getting their novel published – and for anyone curious about the inside workings of the publishing game.

Mid-Tudor Queenship and Memory


Free Download Mid-Tudor Queenship and Memory: The Making and Re-making of Lady Jane Grey and Mary I
English | 2023 | ISBN: 303135687X | 395 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB
This book explores (mis)representations of two female claimants to the Tudor throne, Lady Jane Grey and Mary I of England. It places Jane’s attempted accession and Mary I’s successful accession and reign in comparative perspective, and illustrates how the two are fundamentally linked to one another, and to broader questions of female kingship, precedent, and legitimacy. Through ten original essays, this book considers the nature and meaning of mid-Tudor queenship as it took shape, functioned, and was construed in the sixteenth century as well as its memory down to the twenty-first, in literary, musical, artistic, theatrical, and other cultural forms. Offering unique comparative insights into Jane and Mary, this volume is a key resource for researchers and students interested in the Tudor period, queenship, and historical memory.
