Rethinking Virtual Places, Hardcover by Champion, Erik Malcolm, ISBN 0253058341, ISBN-13 9780253058348, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US<p><b><b>How would the humanities change if we grappled with the ways in which and virtual places are designed, experienced, and critiqued?</b></b></p><p>In <i>Rethinking Virtual Places</i>, Erik Malcolm Champion draws from the fields of computational sciences and other place-related disciplines to argue for a more central role for virtual space in the humanities. For instance, recent developments in neuroscience could improve our understanding of how people experience, store, and recollect place-related encounters. Similarly, game mechanics using virtual place design might make environments more engaging and learning content more powerful and salient. In addition, Champion provides a brief introduction to new and emerging software and devices and explains how they help, hinder, or replace our traditional means of designing and exploring places. </p><p>Perfect for humanities scholars fascinated by the potential of virtual space, <i>Rethinking Virtual Places</i> challenges both traditional and recent evaluation methods to address the complicated problem of understanding how people evaluate and engage with the notion of place.</p>
