Interaction design : beyond human-computer interaction /

What is interaction design -- Understanding and conceptualizing interaction -- Cognitive aspects -- Social interaction -- Emotional interaction -- Interfaces -- Data gathering -- Data analysis, interpretation, and presentation -- The process of interaction design -- Establishing requirements -- Design, prototyping, and construction -- Interaction design in practice -- Introducing evaluation -- Evaluation studies: from controlled to natural settings -- Evaluation: inspections, analytics, and models.

This is an ideal resource for learning the interdisciplinary skills needed for interaction design, human computer interaction, information design, web design and ubiquitous computing. This text 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.
