Perspectives on HCI

About this book

The field of human-computer interaction (HCI) has attracted researchers with interests as diverse as formal mathematics, ethnography, cognitive psychology and conversation analysis. Each approach comes with different assumptions and perspectives on the practical problem of designing more effective systems. Perspectives on HCI will be essential reading for students and researchers in computer science, psychology, human factors and sociology who want to know how other disciplines approach the practical problem of making computers into more effective tools for people to use.
