Interaction Design

Interaction design principles and practice updated for AINow in its Seventh Edition, Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction delivers a cross-disciplinary, process-oriented treatment of designing effective interactive technologies. Written by a team of technology and design professors from University College London, the Open University, the University of Maryland, and Swansea University, this updated edition draws on extensive new research and interviews with accomplished professionals and researchers reflecting the field’s rapidly changing landscape. New to this edition, the book shows how artificial intelligence (AI) tools have transformed interaction design, and how interaction design principles help you build better AI tools.The book covers interdisciplinary foundations spanning product design, computer science, human and social psychology, and information systems. It shows not just what principles apply to interaction design but how to apply them, illustrated with numerous real-world examples across virtual reality software, chatbots, and smartphone apps. The refreshed themes, tools, and techniques from previous editions sit alongside the new AI content. A companion website hosts digital resources that complement the material within.Readers will also find: A practical, process-oriented approach that demonstrates how to apply interaction design principles directly to real digital productsCross-disciplinary coverage that integrates skills drawn from product design, computer science, psychology, and information systems disciplinesNumerous real-world examples spanning virtual reality software, chatbots, smartphone apps, and a range of other interactive technologiesExtensive new research findings and interviews with accomplished professionals and researchers reflecting the current interaction design landscapeA companion website featuring digital resources designed to add to and complement the core material contained within the textInteraction Design serves upper-level undergraduates and master’s students studying human-computer interaction, web design, software engineering, digital media, and information studies. Interaction design and user experience professionals will find the book’s process-oriented framework and real-world examples directly applicable to designing effective interactive products.
