Interaction Design / 4th Edition

Interaction design can be defined as designing interactive products to support the way people communicate and interact in their everyday and working lives. To be successful, interaction designers will need a mixed set of skills drawn from psychology, human–computer interaction, web design, computer science, information systems, and entertainment as well as an understanding of the desires and needs of people and the kinds of technology available.

Interaction Design: beyond human–computer interaction offers a cross-disciplinary, practical and process-oriented introduction to the field, showing not just what principles ought to apply to interaction design, but crucially how they can be applied.
