Elsevier Science Rapid Contextual Design
Book SynopsisIntroduces Rapid Contextual Design, a fast-paced, adaptive form of Contextual Design. This book walks you step-by-step through organizing the data so you can see your key issues, along with visioning fresh solutions, storyboarding to work out the details, and paper prototype interviewing to iterate the design.Trade Review"Rapid Contextual Design is a timely, relevant book for technical communicators. Whether you are a seasoned usability professional or a novice trying to develop your awareness of user-centered design, you should add this title to your bookshelf." –Eddie VanArsdall, Technical Communication "Here are those little gems of advice that a skilled mentor who peered over your shoulder would tell you. If you lack such a mentor, this book is the next best thing, explaining just what you need to do in a straightforward, easy to read, easy to understand manner." --Don Norman, Nielsen Norman group, Prof., Northwestern University, Author of Emotional Design "The new how-to guide boosts the value of the original Contextual Design book by transforming a design method into pragmatic advices of how to run a Contextual Design project in your own environment." --Joerg Beringer, Director, Strategic Product Design, SAP-AG "A wise guide to interface design dos and don'ts, from people with experience. They create a new language for thinking about design processes, combining a compelling structured process with sufficient freedom for innovative excursions." --Ben Shneiderman, University of Maryland "Rapid Contextual Design provides a further step in innovation by providing detailed, practical advice on how to conduct successful research projects and to fit the project to the need. My team welcomes these new advances and the flexibility they will provide when we conduct future projects using this method." --Terry Austin, User Experience Group Manager, MicrosoftTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Planning Your Rapid CD Project Chapter 3: Planning Your Contextual Interviews Chapter 4: The Contextual Inquiry Interview Chapter 5: Contextual Interview Interpretation Session Chapter 6: Work Modeling Chapter 7: Building an Affinity Diagram Chapter 8: Consolidated Sequence Models Chapter 9: Using Contextual Data to Write Personas Chapter 10: Walking the Affinity and Consolidated Sequences Chapter 11: Visioning a New Way to Work Chapter 12: Storyboarding Chapter 13: Testing with Paper Prototypes Chapter 14: Paper Prototype Interviews Chapter 15: Rapid CD and Other Methodologies Chapter 16: Issues of Organizational Adoption Appendix 1: Supply Checklist Index

MIT Press The Second Self Twentieth Anniversary Edition Computers and the Human Spirit The MIT Press
Book SynopsisA new edition of the classic primer in the psychology of computation, with a new introduction, a new epilogue, and extensive notes added to the original text.In The Second Self, Sherry Turkle looks at the computer not as a tool, but as part of our social and psychological lives; she looks beyond how we use computer games and spreadsheets to explore how the computer affects our awareness of ourselves, of one another, and of our relationship with the world. Technology, she writes, catalyzes changes not only in what we do but in how we think. First published in 1984, The Second Self is still essential reading as a primer in the psychology of computation. This twentieth anniversary edition allows us to reconsider two decades of computer culture—to (re)experience what was and is most novel in our new media culture and to view our own contemporary relationship with technology with fresh eyes. Turkle frames this classic work with a new introduction, a new epilogu

Cambridge University Press Science Technology and Society
Book SynopsisThis book gathers inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary perspectives on the effects that today''s advances in science and technology have on issues ranging from government policy-making to how we see the differences between men and women. The chapters investigate how invention and innovation really take place, how science differs from competing forms of knowledge, and how science and technology could contribute more to the greater good of humanity. For instance, should there be legal restrictions on ''immoral inventions''? A key theme that runs throughout the book concerns who is taken into account at each stage and who is affected. The amount of influence users have on technology development and how non-users are factored in are evaluated as the impact of scientific and technological progression on society is investigated, including politics, economy, family life, and ethics.Trade Review'Todd L. Pittinsky argues for a 'technology of a greater good' and outlines the dangers of technology dependence, while explaining how humanity is capable of avoiding such traps. The decision is still in our hands to ensure that technology serves the public good, instead of the dictates of an imagined consumer.' Ferenc Miszlivetz, Director of the Institute of Advanced Studies and Jean Monnet Professor, Hungarian Academy of Science'Science, Technology, and Society: New Perspectives and Directions contains an absorbing collection of thought-provoking essays on a broad range of topics in science and technology studies. Written by leading scholars, this volume will be useful as a research reference and as an advanced survey of the field for sparking classroom discussions.' John N. Parker, Program Officer and Co-Director of the National Science Foundation's Science, Technology, and Society Program'In Science, Technology, and Society, editor Pittinsky (Stony Brook Univ.) has brought together a highly complementary set of essays that explore how society shapes-and is shaped by-technological innovation. Contributed chapters address a diverse set of technologies including everything from genetic engineering to innovations by farmers in converting old cars into effective agricultural machinery. One especially interesting chapter focuses on the role of technology in reducing sex differences in society, for example by enabling remote work, which can either ease or heighten demands on women who are primary caregivers for young children, and by enabling online commentators to avoid indicating their sex and escape potential stereotyping by colleagues.'

Cambridge University Press Virtual Reality
Book SynopsisVirtual reality is a powerful emerging technology using advanced computing techniques to create perceptual illusions that transcend ordinary human experiences. This interdisciplinary text explains fundamentals and industry insights from engineering to psychology, enabling students, researchers, and developers to contribute to this growing field.Trade Review'Steve is a titan of his field, and Virtual Reality is a compelling capstone to the work he has done for VR over the past decade.' Palmer Luckey, Founder of Oculus VR and Anduril'The book by LaValle provides a principled and comprehensive introduction to Virtual Reality. It is a fine exposition of the concepts, algorithms, and system issues that arise in virtual reality technologies. The author offers excellent coverage of different areas, including audio, geometry, interactions, optics, perception, rendering, tracking, etc., used in designing simulated and immersive environments.' Dinesh Manocha, University of Maryland at College Park'The book is great source for everybody interested in VR as it provides an extensive overview about the most important topics of virtual reality with lots of helpful illustrations and examples, and at the same time covers several technical and mathematical aspects in depth.' Frank Steinicke, University of Hamburg'LaValle's book is probably the best way to get into the science and engineering of virtual reality. It is comprehensive, yet very accessible, full of illustrations and plain-English explanations. The book is an excellent choice for students and engineers interested in future VR technologies.' Rafal Mantiuk, University of Cambridge'An excellent introductory textbook for VR, well-organized, with broad coverage, and clear prose. LaValle is a knowledgeable guide through the wide variety of topics germane to VR, from the history of the field, to visual perception, to mathematics of 3D geometry, to displays, rendering, tracking, audio, user interaction, and much more. If there is a better introductory VR textbook, I've yet to find it.' Henry Fuchs, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillTable of ContentsPreface; 1. Introduction; 2. Bird's-eye view; 3.
