The Way

Cyberspace is the environment created during the experience of virtual reality. Therefore, to assert that there is nothing new in cyberspace alludes to there being nothing new about virtual reality. Is this assertion correct? Is virtual reality an exciting development in human-computer interaction, or is it simply another example of effective simulation? Does current media interest herald a major advance in information technology, or will virtual reality go the way of artificial intelligence, cold fusion and junk bonds? Is virtual reality the best thing since sliced bread, or is it last week's buns in a new wrapper?

The growth of information technology has led to a significant expansion of the possibilities for storing, processing and presenting spatial data. This gave a new round of development to such a direction of cartography and geoinformatics as geovisualization. Interactivity and dynamics have become the main distinguishing features of modern maps, especially in the field of cartographic design, which now extend to the problems of human-computer interaction to ensure more successful analysis of geodata and the development of spatial solutions. The article examines the existing definitions of geovisualization and proposes its own version. The scheme and features of individual stages of geovisualization creation are considered. Typical tasks that need to be solved to create high-quality visualization of spatial data are formulated and their systematization is performed. On the basis of the mentioned above tasks and their specificity, the most promising areas of research in the field of geovisualization were identified.

Users should be involved in information technology (IT) artifact development, but it is often difficult and rare, especially in the development of commercial IT artifacts for external use. This paper critically examines discursive construction of user involvement in academia and in the IT artifact product development industry. First, three academic discourses on user involvement are identified. Then, discursive construction of user involvement is explored in four IT artifact product development organizations, in which user involvement is indirect and labeled as usability work. Five discourses on usability work are identified. They are related to the academic discourses on user involvement, and some of them are criticized (Asaro, 2000) as“forms of technological colonialism,” merely “silencing the users” instead of “giving them a voice.” It is recommended that especially the human-computer interaction (HCI) community should carefully reflect on what kinds of discourses on user involvement it advocates and deems as legitimate.

Computer Interaction

The use of Information Technology applications in almost all the sections of the society became one of the common practices in the society. Education, health, government, business, commerce, environment, and other areas, IT and Computing are plays a leading role. The Information Technology is also changing its shape and expanding its components every day. The latest in the list are Cloud Computing, Green Computing, Human Computer Interaction, Big-Data, Analytical Tools, and parallel computing. In the Government sectors, these technologies have valuable contribution and the magnitude of such contribution is increasing day by day. In the MGNREGA project, India, huge amount of information and computers are used and here these emerging technologies may be applied based on requirement and need. This paper discusses the potential applications of Cloud Computing, Big Data. Human Computer Interaction and Parallel Processing to improve the magnitude and speed of information processing in this rural employment project, which is officially termed as MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005).
