Product Description

"When the concept of the interface first began to emerge, it was commonly understood as the hardware and software through which a human and a computer could communicate. As it has evolved, the concept has come to include the cognitive and emotional aspects of the user's experience as well...The noun, interface is taken to be a discrete and tangible thing that we can map, draw, design, implement, and attach to an existing bundle of functionality. One of the goals of this book is to explode that notion and replace it with one that can guide our work in the right direction." - From the Introduction The Art of Human-Computer Interface Design is an extraordinary work in the field of human-computer interaction. With never-before-published pieces by more than fifty of the major thinkers and explorers in the field, this book provides an intriguing look at some of the most exciting developments in interface design. Readers will discover the newest technologies such as cyberspace, animation, multimedia, and speech recognition and will explore the philosophical and psychological background to creating effective interfaces.The first section of The Art of Human-Computer Interface Design, "Creativity and Design," offers insight into general interface issues. The "Users and Contexts" section details the experiences of a variety of users and designers, providing invaluable input for interface designers. The "Sermons" sections is a collection of thought-provoking pieces by some of the people whose work and points of view have deeply influenced human-computer interaction--Donald Norman, Nicholas Negroponte, Ted Nelson, Alan Kay, Jean-Louis Gassee, Timothy Leary, and Ben Shneiderman. The fourth section, "New Directions," looks at some of the ideas and theories that are on the frontiers of human-computer interface design. A treasury of ideas and opinions from leading thinkers in the computer industry, The Art of Human-Computer Interface Design delves into the strategies, reasoning, and future direction of human-computer interaction and the overall relationship between computers and people. 0201517973B04062001

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but Macintosh-centric and dated, 2 Jun 1999

By A Customer

Don't get me wrong, this book has a lot to offer: 500+ pages of it! But it was written in 1990 and it shows.

Almost everyone who has written a paper for this collection has some link to Macintosh (except for Timothy Leary of course). All examples are Macintosh based. And we're not talking G3's here. We're talking Mac II's.

No mention is made of the Web (how could it be?). It does, however, make a lot of good points that are applicable for all User Interface designs.

So, in general, this is a good book for it's time, but it's time has well and truly passed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Be inspired, learn from the "old". Knowledge is timeless., 2 Jan 2001

By A Customer

Other readers here say that this stuff is dated. Well I don't agree. It's a good book to be inspired by. Interface design on the web isn't that different than interface design for other systems. It's nice to know a bit of history, and this book can offer you a lot if you're willing to use your own imagination. I would recommend that you read this one, especially if you're into web interface design, usability etc. The essays here are all dated in a way. But the knowledge they offer is timeless.

4.0 out of 5 stars An important foundation book in interface design, but dated., 13 Feb 1996

By A Customer

Folks new to modern user interface design principles will get the most out of this book. It gives a good insight into the types of thinking that go into excellent user interface designs.

More experienced folks may find this book falling behind the state of the art, but interesting from a historical perspective.
