Human-Computer Interaction : Design Issues, Solutions, and Applications

This book covers the development of UIs intended for users in many different countries with different cultures and languages. It explores the cultural boundaries of multimedia design, including creative artistic community and science-based engineering. The book also discusses adaptive multimodal-multisensor interfaces and their potential for new functionality, unparalleled robustness, and as a multifunctional and personalized mobile system. Other topics include adaptive systems, psychological complexity, interface issues, design of DSSs, human factors, CMCs and online communities as well as VE technology.

Hailed on first publication as a compendium of foundational principles and cutting-edge research, The Human-Computer Interaction Handbook has become the gold standard reference in this field. Derived from select chapters of this groundbreaking resource, Human-Computer Interaction: Design Issues, Solutions, and Applications focuses on HCI from a privacy, security, and trust perspective. Under the aegis of Andrew Sears and Julie Jacko, expert practitioners address the myriad issues involved when designing the interactions between users and computing technologies. As expected in a book that begins by pondering "Why we should think before doing", you get an interdisciplinary resource that explores the relationship between people and technology.
