Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction

Overview & Synopsis

Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction provides the first comprehensive textbook on the design of computing systems for human use. The book is written for undergraduate and graduate students from different disciplines. It describes how to be human-centered in the design and evaluation of interactive systems. It does so by separating seven essential areas of HCI: understanding people, user research, theories of interaction, user interfaces, design of interactive systems, engineering of interactive systems, and evaluation of such systems. Together, these chapters cover timeless principles of HCI as well as emerging topics, such as artificial intelligence and extended reality.
