A great academic resource for gradaute students in HCC/HCI programs
27 Mar 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
For new graduate students entering the study of human computer interactions and interface design, this book can be a great resource. The book itself is more of a collection of academic articles pertaining to many different areas of human factors or human interaction including software interface design, physiology, and human psychology. Many of the articles are current, leading edge endeavors that can be applied to many problems faced by software engineers, web developers, and designers.
Perhaps the one problem would be the high academic reading level of many of the articles. For graduate students the reading level should be just right but for others either other fields or undergraduates, the text may be too dense or technical.
Overall a good resource for one's library if working or studying in the human- computer interaction field.

A great book on the latest in HCI research
27 April 2008
Format:Hardcover
I have read numerous chapters in the book, and have been very intriqued by the topics that range from basic to complex. There are even chapters on future trends, so people can see where future research is going, which I find very useful as a student researcher myself.
In my opinion, it is a great go-to book.

Couldn't wait to trade this book in
26 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had to order this text book for a graduate-level class. It's very dense and a chore to read. The subject matter is very interesting to me, but this book was not.
