Our lived experience should be enriched by a political and economic system that is just and fair, that strengthens the ties that bind us together as a society with shared values, and allows us to live, however we choose, safely, and secure in the provision of the essential elements of our lives; economic, human and environmental. Our current market economy was conceived in a social vacuum, when gender, race and social class rights, were denied most of the population. There was no universal franshise. We can add intergenerational rights to that list. This book explores why our market economy and politics fails to adapt as society evolves. It answers the question, if not capitalism, what? This is about far more than economics. It raises the banner for equality, rights and economic democracy. It defines what it means to be human, and the values with live by, share, and who we are as a society. It is about a reshaping of politics around a radicalised Centre and beyond, and confronting unspoken truths, laying the ground for a new paradigm. It affects the reader and future generations and the society we choose to shape and share. Of finding hope, through universal common values, and shared personal and collective self-interest.

In che modo un ambiente interattivo influisce sull'esperienza dell'utente? La "presenza" qualcosa che di solito viene elicitato attraverso la realt virtuale, ma poich i giochi tradizionali si sono sviluppati in un media ricco con qualit immersive superiori a quelle della TV o del cinema, si sostiene che anch'essi possono elicitare il senso di presenza. possibile misurare la presenza nei giochi tradizionali utilizzando strutture VR? Il metodo di misurazione pi utilizzato il questionario sulla presenza. Si sostiene tuttavia che un questionario non sia sufficiente per misurare l'esperienza immediata provata da un individuo e in questo studio del 2008 viene integrato da un ulteriore metodo di misurazione psicologica: la percezione del tempo. Sono stati creati due livelli di gioco per studiare la teoria secondo cui un maggior grado di interattivit influisce sulla presenza nei giochi. Questi livelli sono identici, ma per un fattore: un livello statico e l'altro altamente interattivo e distruttibile. I risultati del test di percezione del tempo e del questionario di accompagnamento mostrano una forte relazione tra i livelli di divertimento e l'aumento dell'interattivit , nonch una relazione tra la distorsione temporale e il senso di presenza.

Comment un environnement interactif affecte-t-il l'exp rience de l'utilisateur ? La "pr sence" est g n ralement suscit e par la r alit virtuelle, mais comme les jeux traditionnels se transforment en un m dia riche avec des qualit s immersives sup rieures celles de la t l vision ou du cin ma, on peut affirmer qu'ils peuvent galement susciter le sentiment de pr sence. Est-il possible de mesurer la pr sence dans les jeux traditionnels l'aide de structures de RV ? La m thode de mesure la plus r pandue est le questionnaire de pr sence. Dans cette tude de 2008, il est compl t par une autre m thode de mesure psychologique: la perception du temps. Ici, deux niveaux de jeu sont cr s afin d' tudier la th orie selon laquelle un degr accru d'interactivit affecte la pr sence dans les jeux. Ces niveaux sont identiques l'exception d'un facteur: un niveau est statique et l'autre est hautement interactif et destructible. Les r sultats du test de perception du temps et du questionnaire qui l'accompagne montrent une forte relation entre les niveaux de plaisir et l'augmentation du degr d'interactivit , ainsi qu'une relation entre la distorsion du temps et le sentiment de pr sence.

Wie beeinflusst eine interaktive Umgebung die Erfahrung des Nutzers? Pr senz" ist etwas, das normalerweise durch virtuelle Realit t hervorgerufen wird, aber da sich traditionelle Spiele zu einem reichhaltigen Medium mit immersiven Qualit ten entwickeln, die ber die des Fernsehens oder des Films hinausgehen, wird argumentiert, dass sie auch das Gef hl der Pr senz hervorrufen k nnen. Ist die Messung des Pr senzgef hls in traditionellen Spielen mit Hilfe von VR-Strukturen realisierbar? Die am weitesten verbreitete Methode zur Messung der Pr senz ist der Pr senz-Fragebogen. Es wird jedoch argumentiert, dass ein Fragebogen nicht ausreicht, um die unmittelbare Erfahrung zu messen, die ein Individuum empfindet. In dieser Studie aus dem Jahr 2008 wird er durch eine zus tzliche psychologische Messmethode erg nzt: die Zeitwahrnehmung. Hier werden zwei Spielebenen geschaffen, um die Theorie zu untersuchen, dass ein erh hter Grad an Interaktivit t die Pr senz im Spiel beeinflusst. Diese Ebenen sind bis auf einen Faktor identisch, eine Ebene ist statisch, die andere ist hoch interaktiv und zerst rbar. Die Ergebnisse des Zeitwahrnehmungstests und des begleitenden Fragebogens zeigen eine starke Beziehung zwischen den Genussniveaus und dem erh hten Ma an Interaktivit t sowie eine Beziehung zwischen Zeitverzerrung und dem Gef hl der Pr senz.
