By A Customer
This review is from: User Interface Design of Electronic Appliances (Hardcover)
A guidebook, aimed at User Interace / Human Factors students or professionals. Chapters are written in an easy to read language. It addresses a variety of topics: from interaction design process and guidelines, inpout devices, sound interfaces, standards, evaluation, new Human Factors, cultural differences, pleasure in product use, to a useful overview-summery of all the guidelines. It presents several tools, techniques and guidelines, and as a toolbook of guidelines for a variety of topicsm it is useful for HF / UI practitioners reference. Most guidelines are presented and explained in a clear and fairly easy to read way. It is made up of several contributions, each with a different style of writting, from quite several proffesionals in the field of HF. The book is a practicioners reference, rather than a book with a narrative, that tried to make a certain point through it's struicture. I found it interesting that you can read this book's chapters add-hoc, when you need to and according to what part you need to consult, withoun neceserily reading them in the sequencial order they are presented in the book.
