Aalto courses E02000 Visual Marketing, Usability and Product Design Development with Eye Tracking Methodology Be on the cutting edge! Eye tracking methodology is fast emerging as the most important tool for observing human perception and attention. It is already applied to a vast array of uses ranging from medical and market research to designing airliner cabins and virtual environments, yet, education for using them is still in limited supply. This is your chance to include a cutting edge skill to your portfolio. S Astronomical View of the World Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences, and it has affected the human civilizations throughout the history. From astronomer-priests of the ancient Mesopotamia dictating foreign politics, to builders of astronomically-aligned monuments such as the Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids, to navigation and exploration of the seafaring nations (and now spacefaring!), to removal of the humankind from the focus and the centre of the universe, all the way to our modern understanding of our solar, galactic and inter-galactic neighborhood – the astronomical view of the World has been interwoven in arts and sciences, mythologies and religions, politics and societies.
