  • Analysis of Innovation in the Video Game Industry
    Master’s Degree in Management Innovation and Marketing Final Thesis Analysis of Innovation in the Video Game Industry Supervisor Ch. Prof. Giovanni Favero Assistant Supervisor Ch. Prof. Maria Lusiani Graduand Elena Ponza Matriculation number 873935 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 I II Alla mia famiglia, che c’è stata quando più ne avevo bisogno e che mi ha sostenuta nei momenti in cui non credevo di farcela. A tutti i miei amici, vecchi e nuovi, per tutte le parole di conforto, le risate e la compagnia. A voi che siete parte di me e che, senza che vi chieda nulla, ci siete sempre. Siete i miei fiorellini. Senza di voi tutto questo non sarebbe stato possibile. Grazie, vi voglio bene. III IV Abstract During the last couple decades video game consoles and arcades have been subjected to the unexpected, swift development and spread of mobile gaming. What is it though that allowed physical platforms to yet maintain the market share they have over these new and widely accessible online resources? The aim of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of the concept of innovation in the quickly developing world of video games. The analysis is carried out with qualitative methods, one based on technological development in the context of business history and one on knowledge exchange and networking. Throughout this examination it has been possible to explore what kind of changes and innovations were at first applied by this industry and then extended to other fields. Some examples would be motion control technology, AR (Augmented Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality), which were originally developed for the video game industry and eventually were used in design, architecture or in the medical field.

Although a number of reviews have reported efficacy of these Shuo Xiang1 interventions, none has reviewed the type of eMedia interventions and quality of their description. Megan Yang1 We therefore decided to conduct a survey of eMedia-delivered interventions for schizophrenia. Farhad Shokraneh2 Methods: We surveyed all relevant trials reliably identified in the Cochrane Schizophrenia Group’s Yumeen Syed3 comprehensive register of trials by authors working independently. Data were extracted regarding the size of the trial, interventions, outcomes and how well the intervention was described. Muhammad Ayub1 Results: eMedia delivery of interventions is increasingly frequent in trials relevant to the Clive E Adams4 care of people with schizophrenia. The trials varied considerably in sample sizes (mean =123, 5 Saeed Farooq median =87, range =20–507), and interventions were diverse, rarely evaluating the same 1Department of Psychiatry, Queens approaches and were poorly reported.

Brno: Masarykova Univerzita, Filozofická fakulta, Kabinet informačních studií a knihovnictví, 2009, 66 s. Vedoucí diplomové práce PhDr. Michal Lorenz. Anotace: Bakalářská diplomová práce Vývoj a vzájemná rivalita nejvýznamnějších auditivních a audiovizuálních datových médií se zabývá nejvýznamnějšími záznamovými médii posledních sta let a jejich bojem s konkurencí - Edisonovým fonografem počínaje a jeho bitvou s Berlinerovým gramofonem, vývojem magnetického pásku, historií CD a DVD, současnou bitvou mezi Blu-ray a HD-DVD a konečně i pohledem do budoucnosti – ponese-li se ve znamení holografického ukládání dat, či přímo stahování obsahu z internetu bez prostředníků v podobě fyzických nosičů. Zároveň se pokouší přinést odpověď na otázku, jaké faktory ovlivňují úspěch či neúspěch formátu, který se chce ve své oblasti stát dominantním. V práci se rovněž zamýšlím nad vlivem pornografie jakožto významným faktorem ovlivňující komerční úspěch (audiovizuálního) datového média. Abstract: My Bachelor’s thesis deals with the history, development and mutual rivalry (aka format war) of the most significant data storage media of the last one hundred years.

  • Pbcore Handbook Section 7
    Controlled Vocabularies PBCore Controlled Vocabularies are sets of predefined, community-standardized terms for concepts related to audiovisual and broadcast collections. These terms can be used as drop-down value lists in a database or spreadsheet to ensure consistency in terminology, formatting and spelling, both internally and when exchanging information with outside organizations. PBCore Controlled Vocabularies include the agreed-upon spelling and formatting for each term, a definition, and a Unique Resource Identifier (or URI). The vocabularies provide only the terms that the community has determined are most widely used and shared, and are not 100% comprehensive. PBCore does not maintain controlled vocabularies for elements that have strong vocabulary options maintained by other authorities. Element definitions contain references to relevant external vocabularies, where applicable. pbcoreAssetTypeVocabulary Usage: for pbcoreAssetType Album Definition: A collection of recordings issued as a single item on CD, record, or another medium.

  • The Makeover from DVD to Blu-Ray Disc
    Praise for Blu-ray Disc Demystified “BD Demystified is an essential reference for designers and developers building with- in Blu-ray’s unique framework and provides them with the knowledge to deliver a compelling user experience with seamlessly integrated multimedia.” — Lee Evans, Ambient Digital Media, Inc., Marina del Rey, CA “Jim’s Demystified books are the definitive resource for anyone wishing to learn about optical media technologies.” — Bram Wessel, CTO and Co-Founder, Metabeam Corporation “As he did with such clarity for DVD, Jim Taylor (along with his team of experts) again lights the way for both professionals and consumers, pointing out the sights, warning us of the obstacles and giving us the lay of the land on our journey to a new high-definition disc format.” — Van Ling, Blu-ray/DVD Producer, Los Angeles, CA “Blu-ray Disc Demystified is an excellent reference for those at all levels of BD pro- duction. Everyone from novices to veterans will find useful information contained within. The authors have done a great job making difficult subjects like AACS encryption, BD-Java, and authoring for Blu-ray easy to understand.” — Jess Bowers, Director, Technical Services, 1K Studios, Burbank, CA “Like its red-laser predecessor, Blu-ray Disc Demystified will immediately take its rightful place as the definitive reference book on producing BD. No authoring house should undertake a Blu-ray project without this book on the author’s desk. If you are new to Blu-ray, this book will save you time, money, and heartache as it guides the DVD author through the new spec and production details of producing for Blu-ray.” — Denny Breitenfeld, CTO, NetBlender, Inc., Alexandria, VA “An all in one encyclopedia of all things BD.” — Robert Gekchyan, Lead Programmer/BD Technical Manager Technicolor Creative Services, Burbank, CA About the Authors Jim Taylor is chief technologist and general manager of the Advanced Technology Group at Sonic Solutions, the leading developer of BD, DVD, and CD creation software.

    1 Introducing Critical Media Studies KEY CONCEPTS CONVERGENCE SOCIALIZATION CRITICAL MEDIA STUDIES MEDIUM FRAGMENTATION MOBILITY THEORY GLOBALIZATION POSTMODERNITY SIMULATION MASS MEDIA How We Know What We Know Everything we know is learned in one of two ways.1 The first way is somatically. These are the things we know through direct sensory perception of our environ- ment. We know what some things look, smell, feel, sound, or taste like because we personally have seen, smelled, felt, heard, or tasted them. One of the authors of this text knows, for example, that “Rocky Mountain oysters” (bull testicles) are especially chewy because he tried them once at a country and western bar. In short, some of what we know is based on first‐hand, unmediated experience. But the things we know through direct sensory perception make up a very small percentage of the total things we know. The vast majority of what we know comes to us a second way, symbolically. These are the things we know through someone or something, such as a parent, friend, teacher, museum, textbook, photograph, radio, film, television, or the internet. This type of information is mediated, meaning that it came to us via some indirect channel or medium. The word “medium” is derived from the Latin word medius, which means “middle” or that which comes betweenCOPYRIGHTED two things: the way that BBC’s MATERIAL Planet Earth production team might come between us and the animals of the Serengeti, for instance. In the past 30 seconds, those readers who have never eaten Rocky Mountain oysters have come to know that they are chewy, as that information has been communicated to them through, or mediated by, this book.
