Future Interaction Design

The perspectives and techniques used in HCI practice and research are broadening, and this book looks at new concepts which are likely to contribute to the discipline and prepare it for design problems of the future. The emphasis is on the human being as a social, cognitive, emotional, creative and active actor - it is these values that determine users needs and interaction, rather than the technology. Each chapter emphasizes alternative perspectives on Human Computer Interaction and new concepts to help researchers and practitioners relate to alternative design approaches and opportunities. Many of these new elements can be found to be successful and established in other fields, so this volume will be of real interest to researchers and practitioners working in the field of HC.I

Contains current and forthcoming research on the development of interaction design principles Discusses the possibilities, and challenges for design interaction to reflect user needs and to accommodate emerging requirements A collection of works that are individually illustrative of some of the key issues that interaction design will have to face in the future
