User Interface Design of Electronic Appliances

Buy
User Interface Design for Electronic Appliances fills an aching void in the literature of user experience. While pundits have been busy rhapsodizing about the coming convergence in interactive media, what has actually been happening is an explosive divergence in the form and functions of elec- tronic devices. Convergence, I think, is a myth created to fulfil our wistful desire for everything to be simple and coherent. Instead, we find ourselves in a world where user interface styles seem to be multiplying as rapidly as device types. Our backpacks and belt loops are cluttered with little gadgets that communicate poorly with us, and with each other not at all. The ideal of a life smoothly augmented by technology seems farther away than ever. This book provides a comprehensive array of explanations, guidelines and techniques that can serve the designer of any new (or 'improved') electronic device, from cellular phones to augmented reality devices. Were this book to become the design manual of choice, we would experience a twofold gain in the quality of user experience: better-informed standards for consistency and ease of use, and increasingly effective customization of devices to specific users, activities and situated contexts. In other words, we can have the best of both paradigms - convergence and divergence - through better design practice.]

Baumann and Thomas have resisted the temptation to see user interface design for today's new devices as simple extensions of conventions developed for the personal computer. Indeed, Baumann reaches back to the world of analogue controls for numerous examples of input devices that are universally understood and superbly well suited to their particular functions. Likewise, the contributors to this book do not rely on the received wisdom of the human factors and user interface communities as unques- tioned standards for appropriateness. Readers will find refreshing explana- tions of the realities of human perception, social behaviours and cultural differences along with concrete examples of their relevance to successful design. From brainstorming to team structure to user testing, this book also provides guidelines for managing the human side of design practice.
