Designing Interfaces
Provides information on designing easy-to-use interfaces.
3D User Interfaces
3D interaction is suddenly everywhere. But simply using 3D input or displays isn't enough: 3D interfaces must be carefully designed for optimal user experience. 3D User Interfaces: Theory and Practice, 2nd Edition is today's most comprehensive primary reference to building state-of-the-art 3D user interfaces and interactions. Five pioneering researchers and practitioners cover the full spectrum of emerging applications, techniques, and best practices. The authors combine theoretical foundations, analysis of leading devices, and empirically validated design guidelines. This edition adds two new chapters on human factors and general human-computer interaction--indispensable foundational knowle...
Developing User Interfaces
"Developing User Interfaces" is targeted at the programmer who will actually implement, rather than design, the user-interface. Useful to programmers using any language--no particular windowing system or toolkit is presumed, examples are drawn from a variety of commercial systems, and code examples are presented in pseudo-code. The basic concepts of traditional computer graphics such as drawing and 3D modeling are covered for readers without a computer graphics background.
Intelligent User Interfaces
As computer systems grow increasingly complex, the design of effective and efficient computer-human interface becomes ever more critical to overall system performance. These systems are often characterized by large amounts of information to be conveyed and understood, complex task structures, real-timeperformance characteristics, and the incorporation of autonomous or semi-autonomous agents. Conventional interfaces appear inadequate to deal with such complexity, and practical solutions based on new technology are being sought. This unique book in the ACM Press Frontier Series explores specifically how artificial intelligence techniques can be used to improve interfaces for both users and dev...
Exploring Interfaces
An innovative exploration of the interface between grammar, meaning and form.
Language and Communication
Computer interfaces and documentation are notoriously difficult for any user, regardless of his or her level of experience. Advances in technology are not making applications more friendly. Introducing concepts from linguistics and language teaching, Language and Communication proposes a new approach to computer interface design. The book explains for the first time why the much hyped user-friendly interface is treated with such derision by the user community. The author argues that software and hardware designers should consider such fundamental language concepts as meaning, context, function, variety, and equivalence. She goes on to show how imagining an interface as a new language can be an invaluable design exercise, calling into question deeply held beliefs and assumptions about what users will or will not understand. Written for a wide range of computer scientists and professionals, and presuming no prior knowledge of language-related terminology, this volume is a key step in the on-going information revolution.
The Metainterface
How the interface has moved from the PC into cultural platforms, as seen in a series of works of net art, software art and electronic literature. The computer interface is both omnipresent and invisible, at once embedded in everyday objects and characterized by hidden exchanges of information between objects. The interface has moved from office into culture, with devices, apps, the cloud, and data streams as new cultural platforms. In The Metainterface, Christian Ulrik Andersen and Søren Bro Pold examine the relationships between art and interfaces, tracing the interface's disruption of everyday cultural practices. They present a new interface paradigm of cloud services, smartphones, and da...
Visual Interfaces to Digital Libraries
Visual Interfaces to Digital Libraries exploit the power of human vision and spatial cognition to help individuals mentally organize and electronically access and manage large and complex information spaces. They draw on progress in the field of information visualization and seek to shift the users' mental load from slow reading to faster perceptual processes such as visual pattern recognition. Based on two workshops, the book presents an introductory overview as well as a closing listing of the top ten problems in the area by the volume editors. Also included are 16 thoroughly reviewed and revised full papers organized in topical sections on visual interfaces to documents, document parts, document variants, and document usage data; visual interfaces to image and video documents; visualization of knowledge domains; cartographic interfaces to digital libraries; and a general framework.
Multimodal Interfaces
The growing emphasis on multimodal interface design is fundamentally inspired by the aim to support natural, easy to learn and use, flexible, efficient, and powerfully expressive means of human-computer interaction. Most of the articles in this special issue present work in support of challenging applications such as algebra instruction, data summaries, and interaction with complex spatial displays. A collection of emerging research ideas on next-generation multimodal interfaces, it also addresses multimodal interface design for portable devices to be used in natural field settings. Additionally, it describes implemented systems that make computing accessible to the visually impaired.
Interactivity and the Future of the Human-Computer Interface
The usability and design in technological systems is imperative due to their abundance in numerous professional industries. Computer interfaces have seen significant advancement in their design and development as they have become an integral part of today’s society. As humans continue to interact with technology on a regular basis, it is essential for professionals, professors, and students to keep pace with innovative research on interface design and the various applications interfaces have in professional fields. Interactivity and the Future of the Human-Computer Interface is a collection of innovative research on the development and application of interfaces in today’s modern society and the generational implications for design of human and technology interaction. While highlighting topics including digital gaming, augmented reality, and e-learning, this book is ideally designed for educators, developers, web designers, researchers, technology specialists, scientists, and students seeking current research on modern advancements and applications in human-computer interaction.
