Recenzii
Traveling and eating are experiences of the five senses. We recognize the world through the window of the five senses. However, for a long time, only the visual and auditory windows were open to the digital world. This book introduces, with rich examples, how state-of-the-art digital media such as virtual reality can change the relationship between computer and us. I hope this book is a looking glass that reveals a way of understanding how technology can enrich our everyday life.
A must read for researchers and practitioners learning about multisensory experiences and creating them artificially. Authors provided a solid framework using real life examples and connected broad set of disciplines to dissect the complex "experience" we live everyday, and our expectations from the technologies to enable them. The book is engaging, thought provoking and easy to read, with ample examples resonating with readers, jolting their thinking, and resolving with satisfying closures. It covers fundamental of "what is an experience?", its essential constituents, and "why, what, when, how, who and whom" of futuristic technologies enabling it.
It's easy to overlook given our contemporary screen-based dependence on swiping and typing, but our experience of the world goes beyond sight and touch, to include smell, taste, and sound-an entire universe of rich perceptual experiences our senses create in concert with each other. Who better to serve as our guides to the opportunities and responsibilities that accompany multisensory design than Marianna Obrist and Carlos Velasco, with their very different backgrounds and shared sense of curiosity and playfulness.
Multisensory Experiences is a fascinating exploration that gives the reader a new understanding of our relation to human experience and the world around us. This book is a must read for anyone in the business of designing experiences, be that in a room, on a screen, on a plate, in a headset or wine glass. This book delights and inspires showing us a world of possibility that technology can bring to mulitsensory experiences. This book builds on the mindfulness revolution by giving us more complex, layered and detailed understanding of human sensory experience and how we may choose to modify that with technology.

Carlos has worked with a number of companies from all around the world on multisensory experiences.Marianna Obrist is Professor of Multisensory Experiences and, before joining UCL, she was head of the Sussex Computer Human Interaction (SCHI 'sky') Lab at the School of Engineering and Informatics at the University of Sussex (United Kingdom). Her research ambition is to establish touch, taste, and smell as interaction modalities in human-computer interaction. She was selected Young Scientist 2017 and 2018 to attend the WEF in China, and become an inaugural member of the ACM Future of Computing Academy. Marianna received her PhD in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of Salzburg (Austria), was a Marie Curie Fellow at Newcastle University (United Kingdom), and is a Visiting Professor at the Royal College of Art.
