Worth-Focused Design, Book 1
This book develops an appropriate common language for truly interdisciplinary teams involved in design. Design now has many meanings. For some, it is the creation of value. For others, it is the conception and creation of artefacts. For still others, it is fitting things to people. These differences reflect disciplinary values that both overlap and diverge. All involve artefacts: we always design things. Each definition considers people and purpose in some way. Each handles evaluation differently, measuring against aesthetics, craft standards, specifications, sales, usage experiences, or usage outcomes. There are both merits and risks in these differences, without an appropriate balance. Poo...
Worth-Focused Design, Book 2
This book introduces the concept of worth for design teams, relates it to experiences and outcomes, and describes how to focus on worth when researching and expressing design opportunities for generous worth. Truly interdisciplinary teams also need an appropriate common language, which was developed in the companion book Worth-Focused Design, Book 1: Balance, Integration, and Generosity. Its new lexicon for design progressions enables a framework for design and evaluation that works well with a worth focus. Design now has different meanings based upon the approach of different disciplinary practices. For some, it is the creation of value. For others, it is the conception and creation of arte...
Engineering for Human-Computer Interaction
The aim of IFIP Working Group 2.7 (13.4) for User Interface Engineering is to investigate the nature, concepts and construction of user interfaces for software systems. The group's scope is: • developing user interfaces based on knowledge of system and user behaviour; • developing frameworks for reasoning about interactive systems; and • developing engineering models for user interfaces. Every three years, the group holds a "working conference" on these issues. The conference mixes elements of a regular conference and a workshop. As in a regular conference, the papers describe relatively mature work and are thoroughly reviewed. As in a workshop, the audience is kept small, to enable in...
Human-Computer Interaction
The pervasive influence of technology continuously shapes our daily lives. From smartphones to smart homes, technology is revolutionizing the way we live, work and interact with each other. Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary research field focusing on the study of people interacting with information technology and plays a critical role in the development of computing systems that work well for the people using them, ensuring the seamless integration of interactive systems into our technologically driven lifestyles. The book series contains six volumes providing extensive coverage of the field, wherein each one addresses different theoretical and practical aspects of the ...
Foundations and Fundamentals in Human-Computer Interaction
This book serves as a foundation to the field of HCI, equipping readers with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in this field. This book Discusses human functionalities and characteristics relevant to interaction, including sensory perception, attention and memory, language and communication, emotions, decision-making, as well as mental models, human error, and human actions. Explores the evolution of HCI design approaches and the role of social and organizational psychology in HCI Discusses key concepts and societal aspects of interactive technologies, such as user acceptance, ethics, privacy, and trust. Covers the historical background, contributing disciplines, essential concepts, and theories within the domain. This book will appeal to individuals interested in Human–Computer Interaction research and applications.
Engineering for HCI
The volume contains all papers presented at the Working Conference on Engineering for Human-Computer Interaction (EHCI'95), grouped into the topic areas Formal Methods, Tools, Multimedia, Architecture, CSCW, and Design. It includes transcripts of all discussions among the presenters and the conference participants. It further contains the results of several mini-workshops held during the conference on topics like the Human Context, How to make Formal Methods Useful, Rapid Implementation and Development, Usability Testing, CSCW Mini Scenarios.
Human-computer Interaction, INTERACT '99
This text provides an overview of leading-edge developments in the field of human-computer interaction. It includes contributions from many key areas that are influencing the use of computers. Sections include speech technology, interaction with mobile and hand-held computers, e-business, web-based systems, virtual reality and haptic interfaces.
People and Computers XV — Interaction without Frontiers
In 2001 AFIHM and the British HCI Group combined their annual conferences, bringing together the best features of each organisation's separate conference series, and providing a special opportunity for the French- and English-speaking HCI communities to interact. This volume contains the full papers presented at IHM-HCI 2001, the 15th annual conference of the British HCI group, a specialist group of the British Computer Society and the 14th annual conference of the Association Francophone d'interaction Homme-Machine, an independent association for any French-speaking person who is interested in Human-Computer Interaction. Human-Computer Interaction is a discipline well-suited to such a multi...
Human Computer Interaction Handbook
Winner of a 2013 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Award The third edition of a groundbreaking reference, The Human-Computer Interaction Handbook: Fundamentals, Evolving Technologies, and Emerging Applications raises the bar for handbooks in this field. It is the largest, most complete compilation of HCI theories, principles, advances, case st
Engineering for Human-computer Interaction
The nature, concepts and construction of user interfaces for software systems are investigated in this book. The scope spans: developing user interfaces based on knowledge of system and user behavior; developing frameworks for reasoning about interactive systems; developing engineering models for user interfaces. These areas are considered within chapters divided as follows: User Interface Management Systems; Design Space; User Studies; Adaptability; Multimodality; Applications; Design Guidelines. It is hoped that through the consolidation of contributions from specialists with wide-ranging experience, the book will prove an essential reference tool for students and will stimulate further research from those involved in the computer science field.
