Features: Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research explores the ways in which humans and computers mutually influence each other. This book integrates computer science, cognitive science, psychology, and sociology to provide an in-depth discussion of HCI, with a focus on the design of interactive systems. The book is divided into three parts, progressing from basic to advanced content, covering the fundamentals of HCI as well as cutting-edge research areas.
Part I is the foundation, discussing the interaction between humans and computer technology. The second part is design practice, examining key issues in HCI based on usability and the design process, including task analysis, dialogue design, cognitive models, and software engineering notation. It also discusses effective requirements gathering, implementation, evaluation, and documentation. The third part covers advanced topics, including components, group computing (Computer-Supported Cooperative Work), multi-sensor systems, multimedia, and the World Wide Web.
