Human-Computer Interaction

Delineating the application of HCI in real-world environments, this book examines the larger context in which HCI happens then uses that context as the basis for the design of users experiences. It explores modern interpretations and uses of task analysis, defining its meaning and providing a practical guide. The book includes an overview of the steps of Rapid Context Design and key issues in its use, then introduces ethnography as it relates to studies in HCI. Other topics include tools and techniques for using prototypes, scenario-based design, participatory design, the user interface development paradigm, and more.
