New Directions in Third Wave Human-Computer Interaction: Volume 1 - Technologies

As the first extensive exploration of contemporary third wave HCI, this handbook covers key developments at the leading edge of human-computer interactions. Now in its second decade as a major current of HCI research, the third wave integrates insights from the humanities and social sciences to emphasize human dimensions beyond workplace efficiency or cognitive capacities. The earliest HCI work was strongly based on the concept of human-machine coupling, which expanded to workplace collaboration as computers came into mainstream professional use. Today HCI can connect to almost any human experience because there are new applications for every aspect of daily life.

Volume 1 - Technologiescovers technical application areas related to artificial cognition, perceptual computing, 3D printing and CNC processes, physical computing, parametric design, the internet of things, leisure and home, health informatics, accessibility, sonification, speech and natural language processing, drone interaction, and virtual reality in clinical settings.
