The concept of usability has become an increasingly important
consideration in the design of all kinds of technology. As more
products are aimed at global markets and developed through
internationally distributed teams, usability design needs to be
addressed in global terms. Interest in usability as a design issue
and specialist area of research and education has developed
steadily in North America and Europe since the 1980 s. However, it
is only over the last ten years that it has emerged as a global
concern.
"Global Usability" provides an introduction to the important issues
in globalizing design" "and an insight into the development of
usability expertise around the world. The book is divided into two
sections. The first section deals with the general issues in
cross-cultural design and the methods for conducting usability
design and evaluation across geographical boundaries. The second
section describes the state of usability development in fifteen
countries. The descriptions include a history and review of
activities and include some unique perspectives that have developed
in relation to usability work. Researchers and practitioners from a
variety of design-related disciplines will find the book a useful
guide for understanding the issues and an excellent reference
source for working in any of the countries covered."
