The Essence of 3D Printing Technology

3D printer is a special device that allows creating items in three dimensions, unlike the conventional printer that displays only two-dimensional data on a sheet of paper. The basis of the three-dimensional printer is the principle of layered manufacturing, or building up a hard, physical model. Initially, the CAD-program creates the layout of a physical object in three dimensions. Then, this three-dimensional data of the prototype is electronically downloaded to a printer which creates a physical object sequentially from one layer to another. All objects printed on this device are constructed exactly from individual layers. The printing process begins ...

INTRODUCTION

This project is undertaken to find out how natural user interfaces can enhance the use of devices for illiterate people. This is given the fact that the rate of illiteracy is an issue of concern in South Africa and the world over. This chapter will focus on previous research which have been carried out and the gap that is lacking in this field. It is important to understand the work that has been carried in order to research on what is still lacking in this field.

What is Natural user interfaces?

A natural user interface (NUI) is a system for human-computer interaction that the user ...

The mind and body problem has originated with Rene Descartes. The function of the mind is to think while the body occupies space. The mind as a thinking matter and the body is the extended matter, respectively. There are two ways between the two distinct types of matter; certainly, the mind affects the body through action and the body affects the mind through perception. In information philosophy, the mind is viewed as immaterial information in the brain, an information processor biologically. For example, the hardware is the brain and mind is the software. It implies that the mind is pure ...

Introduction

It is a fact that the society in general has attempted to use different strategies to modify the distribution and circulation of movies. Some of these strategies have involved the tweaking of cinematographic techniques to advance the themes and aesthetic aspects of the movie, as a way of increasing film sales. Others have involved modifying the themes in the movie industry to penetrate the market and to conscientize the society towards a desired end. In itself, allegorization refers to the use of symbolic actions and figures or generalizations on human existence in literary works. Normally, allegorization is used to give the themes ...

There are many different ways of looking at the world, and philosophical ideas come and go in style just like many other things. Changes in larger philosophical ideas and ideals may happen due to cultural shifts or large incidents; humanity is largely reactionary, and philosophers are no exception to this rule. Today, many thinkers, artists, and writers can be grouped under a humanist classification or a poststructuralist classification when considering their work. Humanism and poststructuralism are not two sides of the same coin, although they are sometimes presented as such; however, when it comes to the meaning of the world ...
