"User Interfaces for All" is the first book dedicated to the issues
of Universal Design and Universal Access in the field of
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Universal Design (or Design for
All) is an inclusive and proactive approach seeking to accommodate
diversity in the users and usage contexts of interactive products,
applications, and services, starting from the design phase of the
development life cycle. The ongoing paradigm shift toward a
knowledge-intensive information society is already bringing about
radical changes in the way people work and interact with each other
and with information. The requirement for Universal Design stems
from the growing impact of the fusion of the emerging technologies,
and from the different dimensions of diversity, which are intrinsic
to the information society.
This book unfolds the various aspects of this ongoing evolution
from a variety of viewpoints. It's a collection of 30 chapters
written by leading international authorities, affiliated with
academic, research, and industrial organizations, and non-market
institutions. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the
state of the art in the field, and includes contributions from a
variety of theoretical and applied disciplines and research themes.
This book can also be used for teaching purposes in HCI courses at
the undergraduate as well as graduate level. Students will be
introduced to the human-, organizational-, and technology-oriented
dimensions that call for a departure from traditional approaches to
user interface development. Students will also get an overview of
novel methods, techniques, tools, and frameworks for the design,
implementation, and evaluation of user interfaces that are
universally accessible and usable by the broadest possible end-user
population.
This comprehensive book is targeted to a broad readership,
including HCI researchers, user interface designers, computer
scientists, software engineers, ergonomists and usability
engineers, Human Factors researchers and practitioners,
organizational psychologists, system/product designers,
sociologists, policy- and decision makers, scientists in
government, industry and education, as well as assistive technology
and rehabilitation experts.
