Rate this book
A new edition of the #1 text in the human computer Interaction field!

Hugely popular with students and professionals alike, the Fifth Edition of Interaction Design is an ideal resource for learning the interdisciplinary skills needed for interaction design, human-computer interaction, information design, web design, and ubiquitous computing. New to the fifth edition: a chapter on data at scale, which covers developments in the emerging fields of 'human data interaction' and data analytics. The chapter demonstrates the many ways organizations manipulate, analyze, and act upon the masses of data being collected with regards to human digital and physical behaviors, the environment, and society at large.

Revised and updated throughout, this edition offers a cross-disciplinary, practical, and process-oriented, state-of-the-art introduction to the field, showing not just what principles ought to apply to interaction design, but crucially how they can be applied.

Explains how to use design and evaluation techniques for developing successful interactive technologies Demonstrates, through many examples, the cognitive, social and affective issues that underpin the design of these technologies Provides thought-provoking design dilemmas and interviews with expert designers and researchers Uses a strong pedagogical format to foster understanding and enjoyment An accompanying website contains extensive additional teaching and learning material including slides for each chapter, comments on chapter activities, and a number of in-depth case studies written by researchers and designers.

Excellent textbook with great examples- i was able to apply much of what I learned to library management, and having gone through the design process several times with websites and CRMs, some chapters were familiar.

Sinceramente non ho capito se questo sia un buon libro oppure no.

Io vengo da una triennale informatica e sto correntemente facendo una magistrale in data science.
Il fatto che conoscessi già metà del contenuto di questo libro, mi ha fatto risultare la lettura molto molto noiosa e mi ha fatto prestare poca attenzione anche sulla metà che non conoscevo già, malgrado i miei sforzi di leggere con attenzione.
Consiglio questo libro a chi sa già qualcosa di interaction design? Non lo so.

Consiglio questo libro a chi non sa nulla di interaction design?
Non lo so ancora.
Trovo che questo libro sia molto completo perché ci ho visto molti aspetti della mia triennale, non solo interazione uomo macchina, ma anche ingegneria del software, progettazione web, come accenni di realtà aumentata, di social computing o crowdsourcing.
Forse è troppo pieno di cose e rischierebbe di "stordire" un lettore "inesperto" con troppe informazioni, spiegando molto, ma non permettendo di fissarle nel lungo periodo.

Alcune volte sembra che questo libro metta informazioni random, che c'entrano con un argomento comune, ma scollegate tra di loro, come se saltasse da un argomento all'altro con un filone unico, ma troppo sottile, richiedendo, quindi, più memoria, che logica, per comprendere e memorizzare queste cose.

Più andavi avanti con la lettura e più mi domandavo quando sarebbe finito perché ero man mano sempre meno coinvolta o attenta.

Forse, più che un libro completo, è il classico "troppo che stroppa". Almeno, questa è stata la mia impressione.
