This book presents a contextual approach to designing contemporary
interactive mobile computer systems as integral parts of ubiquitous
computing environments. Interactive mobile systems, services, and
devices have become functional design objects that we care deeply
about. Although their look, feel, and features impact our everyday
lives as we orchestrate them in concert with a plethora of other
computing technologies, these artifacts are not well understood or
created through traditional methods of user-centered design and
usability engineering. Contrary to more traditional IT artifacts,
they constitute holistic user experiences of value and pleasure
that require careful attention to the variety, complexity, and
dynamics of their usage. Hence, the design of mobile interactions
proposed in this book transcends existing approaches by using the
ensemble of form and context as its central unit of analysis. As
such, it promotes a designerly way of achieving convergence between
form and context through a contextually grounded, wholeness
sensitive, and continually unfolding process of design. Table of
