Cognitive Infocommunications
摘要
Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom) is an interdisciplinary domain investigating the interplay between cognitive sciences and infocommunication technologies (ICT). That is the scientific field where virtual reality pertains. This chapter discusses recent advances in Cognitive Infocommunications on the technological and human fronts. It presents concepts like Digital Reality and Cognitive Entities, arising from the ongoing technological convergence and the deepening integration of ICT with human cognition. The term cognitive entities refers to the synergetic combination of humans, devices, and the environment. Furthermore, the chapter discusses the current research priorities of CogInfoCom, highlighting the intricate interconnectedness of human-technology interactions and the co-evolution of these dynamics.
