Designing for Usability, Inclusion and Sustainability in Human-Computer Interaction

by Constantine Stephanidis (Editor), Gavriel Salvendy (Editor)

Overview

Addressing the rising prevalence of interactive systems in our daily lives, this book focuses on the essential aspects of usability, user experience (UX), and inclusive design.

This book

• Discusses both theoretical and practical aspects, approaches, and methods for the design process and the collaboration between HCI Design and Software Engineering.
• Expands to practical topics such as web and mobile design, aesthetics, information visu- alization, information architecture, and navigation design, along with relevant guidelines and standards.
• Tackles the issue of persuasive interfaces that has arisen as a crucial concern in the contemporary digitalized landscape.
• Emphasizes the importance of making computing systems inclusive and user-friendly for a diverse range of users, including children, older adults, and persons with disabilities.
• Highlights the significance of usability, underscoring its key role in enhancing the overall

user experience of interactive products.

This book has been written for individuals interested in Human-Computer Interaction research and

applications.
