Human-Computer Interaction

This text provides one of the currently available overviews of human-computer interaction across different cultures, disciplines and countries. It contains the selected proceedings of Interact '95 - the Fifth International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction - arranged by the International Federation for Information Processing and held in Lillehammer, Norway, in June 1995. The underlying theme of this book is bringing people together. It focuses on computers enabling people to communicate and co-operate with each other. Case studies, research and theory, education and training are discussed. Chapters explore topics such as: people interacting with robot technologies; technologies for the disabled; video conferencing and shared workspaces; and bringing design teams together with an organization. This text should prove useful to academics and researchers working in human-computer interaction.
