Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

Aimed at undergraduate students in computer science, design, and engineering programs, and master students in dedicated programs, this is the first comprehensive textbook for students of human-computer interaction. While HCI is primarily a research-driven field, the book focuses not only on scientific principles of interaction, but also on the very concrete goal of designing better computing systems. The book revises and synthesizes topics that have been previously scattered across multiple books and papers, including design, engineering, empirical methods, and technology. Although it covers emerging topics like VR and AI, the book places its emphasis on the more time-enduring principles and methods. The book is open access and comes with associated materials for teachers and students, available on the book's companion website.
