      Digital Outcasts: Moving Technology Forward without Leaving People Behind, Second Edition comprehensively explores inclusive design in human-computer interaction. The book examines the real-life experiences of people with disabilities as they navigate systemic barriers in employment, education, healthcare, and social connectivity. This new edition covers the intersectionality of disability with other forms of economic and political discrimination, uncovering how biases related to race, gender, and ability are reflected in language models and AI algorithms. With digital access a foundational element of human existence, the consequences of exclusion are far-reaching and increasingly urgent.Citing case studies in law, creative arts, and social science, this updated edition also examines the historical and emergent impact people with disabilities have on culture and industry. Digital Outcasts emphases that disability has long served as a powerful catalyst for design innovation, driving transformational benefit for consumers of all abilities and backgrounds. Taking into account new legal and technological perspectives, this revision stands as an update on the progress we have made—and how far we have yet to go.

      • English
      Digital twins integrate IoT, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics with a graphic and/or spatial representation to make animate digital simulation models that can change and develop as their physical counterpart does. A digital twin learns and updates itself continuously using real-time data from sensors on the physical asset to represent operating, environmental, and working conditions in near real-time.The metaverse technology represents a comprehensive virtual world, where everything and everyone interacts similarly to what we would do in the real world. The concept of metaverse has gained a lot of prominence after several cryptocurrency networks adopted the technology. With the metaverse technology, a virtual reality becomes a persistent virtual environment that exists even when you are not engaging with it.The digital twin in IoT (Internet of things) and the metaverse are the next big step in our technological evolution as these two technologies continue to shorten the gap between the human and the digital world. MetaConstructs: The Evolution of Digital Twins in the Metaverse Era provides information on emerging fields of next-generation digital twins with a special emphasis on emerging developments and applications of the metaverse, IoT, artificial intelligence, deep learning techniques, virtual reality, augmented reality, internet of medical things (IoMT), optimization techniques, decision making, and cloud computing.The book provides a conceptual framework and roadmap for decision-makers for this transformation.
