| Summary: | "This book is about the design of advanced user interfaces. Three themes are explored: First, a theory-based approach to user interface design that surveys the cognitive psychology background of human-computer interaction, and then introduces design models for applying psychological knowledge. These models expand on Norman's gulfs of interaction framework. The second theme is multimedia interface design: models, principles and a design process for multimedia presentation and dialogue. Cognitive psychology is woven into the design guidelines as a basis for attracting user's attention, matching media to the message and preventing information overloading. The multimedia section also reviews the aesthetics of design and extracts basic principles for designing attractive and engaging user interfaces." "The third theme, virtual reality, is introduced using the same approach whereby theory motivates the design method. Guidelines cover the design of user presence, social agents, virtual environments, and user support. Evaluation methods and techniques for multisensory interfaces form a separate chapter that introduces new variations on the heuristic evaluation theme while also describing additional methods containing more precise diagnostic guidance for evaluation." "The final chapter surveys multisensory design issues in ubiquitous computing and anticipates the future development of interactive technology."--Jacket. |
