Product Description

Book Description
The field of human-computer interaction (HCI) is witnessing a new revolution. Just as the text-based user interface of the 1980s has been made obsolete by graphical-based user interfaces, so dramatic changes are being seen in the range of devices which people can use to interact with computers. In this book, Christopher Baber argues that, in order to appreciate these changes in HCI, it is necessary to understand how people use existing and future devices. Beyond the Desktop explores how interaction devices have been designed to date, before considering the use of interaction devices and the implications for future design and development. This book will be invaluable to designers, researchers, and psychology/computer science students working in:

Human-computer interaction

Cognitive psychology

Ergonomics

Human factors

Engineering psychology

Each chapter contains a brief discussion relating the principle themes of the chapter to either practice or research and throughout the book, examples are supported by empirical research. The aim is to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the issues involved in the design and use of interaction devices, possible approaches to the study of such issues and the benefits to be gained from developing a new generation of user-centred interaction devices which allow computers to move beyond the desktop.
