New to the fifth edition: a chapter on data at scale, which covers developments in the emerging fields of 'human data interaction' and data analytics. The chapter demonstrates the many ways organizations manipulate, analyze, and act upon the masses of data being collected with regards to human digital and physical behaviors, the environment, and society at large.</p> <p>Revised and updated throughout, this edition offers a cross-disciplinary, practical, and process-oriented, state-of-the-art introduction to the field, showing not just what principles ought to apply to interaction design, but crucially how they can be applied.</p> <ul> <li>Explains how to use design and evaluation techniques for developing successful interactive technologies</li> <li>Demonstrates, through many examples, the cognitive, social and affective issues that underpin the design of these technologies</li> <li>Provides thought-provoking design dilemmas and interviews with expert designers and researchers</li> <li>Uses a strong pedagogical format to foster understanding and enjoyment </li> </ul> <p>An accompanying website contains extensive additional teaching and learning material including slides for each chapter, comments on chapter activities, and a number of in-depth case studies written by researchers and designers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Interaction design is about <i>designing interactive digital products to support the way people communicate and interact in their everyday and working lives.</i> To be successful, interaction designers need a mixed set of skills drawn from human-computer interaction, web design, psychology, computer science, information systems, data science and the human sciences as well as an understanding of the desires and needs of people and the kinds of technology available.</p> <p><b><i>Interaction Design: beyond human-computer interaction</i></b> offers a cross-disciplinary, practical and process-oriented introduction to the field, showing not just what principles ought to apply to interaction design, but crucially how they can be applied.</p> <p>The fifth edition of this best-selling book has been substantially updated to reflect this dynamic and fast-moving field and includes: </p> <ul> <li>A new chapter - Data at Scale</li> <li>Application of contemporary theory about human cognition to Interaction Design</li> <li>New developments in social and emotional interaction</li> <li>The latest on Agile and LeanUX</li> <li>Extensive coverage of UX design and evaluation methods</li> <li>Commentary on new and traditional interfaces and applications</li> <li>Updated interviews with leaders in the field from consultancy, corporations and academia</li> </ul> <p><b><i>Interaction Design</i></b> is hugely popular with students and professionals alike. It is an ideal resource for learning the interdisciplinary skills needed for interaction design human-computer interaction, information design, web design, and how HCI relates to topical issues in AI and data science. Accompanying the text is an extensive website at <b>http: //www.id-book.com</b> which contains additional teaching and learning material. It also contains over 50 talking-head videos with HCI experts answering questions like "what is the future of HCI?"</p> <p>"Interaction design is the craft of pleasing users by making technology do what they want in ways that make sense to them. The explosion of digital tech has been--not surprisingly--accompanied by an explosion in the need for trained professionals who can perform this craft. This book satisfies that need. It's a comprehensive study of the practice of interaction design, covering everything from understanding users, to providing solutions that delight them. If this is your chosen field, you will refer to this book many times over during your career, and it will help you be a well-tempered practitioner."<br />--<b>Alan Cooper</b>, Author of <i>About Face</i>, 'Father of Visual Basic, ' inventor of design personas</p> <p>"This updated volume of Interaction Design: Beyond HCI is a delightful introduction to and overview of interaction design (IxD) and human computer interaction (HCI). Using real world examples, the authors illustrate how to design effective, useful, usable, and delightful interactive technology experiences. Whether you are a newcomer to IxD and HCI, or an experienced researcher/practitioner looking for a refresher, this volume is your go-to reference text."<br />--<b>Elizabeth F. Churchill</b>, PhD, DSc., Director of UX, Google & Executive Vice President of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)</p> <p>"This book is a delight to read. Written with passion and purpose and clear practical advice, it is an essential resource for every interaction design course. It is a beacon of light, showing the way forward is to put people, communities and society at the heart of technological progress - especially given the current darkness descending on and through the digital. People are fearful of what devices and services are doing to their understandings of identity, privacy and, even, truth; they are worried about how to maintain the precious smallness of everyday natural life in a world of big data and artificial intelligence. There's never been a more important time for a book like this."<br />--<b>Professor Matt Jones</b>, Computational Foundry, co-author of <i>There's Not an App for That - Mobile User Experience for Life</i> (www.changetheworldUX.org), Swansea University</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Helen Sharp</b> is Professor of Software Engineering and Associate Dean at the Open University.</p> <p><b>Jennifer Preece</b> is a Professor and Dean Emerita in the College of Information Studies - Maryland's iSchool - at the University of Maryland in the USA.</p> <p><b>Yvonne Rogers</b> is the Director of the Interaction Center at University College London as well as a Professor of Interaction Design.</p>
