Mobile User Experience for Life (www.changetheworldUX.org) ?The 4th edition of Interaction Design, with its comprehensive and refreshing take on fundamentals of Human?Computer Interaction and integration in practice and recent research, sustains its status of first choice HCI course book in Namibia. The book is well-structured and content blended with plentiful case studies, activities and relevant and entertaining links which promote students? appreciation beyond their course work.??Dr Heike Winschiers-Theophilus, School of Computing and Informatics, Polytechnic of Namibia ?Interaction Design has always been my favorite textbook for all levels of education in HCI ? so much so it inspired the development of our new undergraduate and postgraduate programmes named after it. With this new edition it continues to be the most updated and accessible work available. As always, it captures state of the art in the field?s cumulative body of knowledge, and is a timely pointer toward new and emerging trends in interactive technology design and use.??Dr Jesper Kjeldskov, Professor of Computer Science, Aalborg University

From the Back Cover

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.

The fourth edition of this best-selling textbook has been substantially updated to reflect this dynamic and fast-moving field and includes:

• Wiley e-text featuring videos and Q&A
