This book reflects the move in Human Computer Interaction studies
from standard usability concerns towards a wider set of problems to
do with fun, enjoyment, aesthetics and the experience of use.
Traditionally HCI has been concerned with work and task based
applications but as digital technologies proliferate in the home
fun becomes an important issue. There is an established body of
knowledge and a range of techniques and methods for making products
and interfaces usable, but far less is known about how to make them
enjoyable.
Perhaps in the future there will be a body of knowledge and a
set of techniques for assessing the pleasure of interaction that
will be as thorough as those that currently assess usability. This
book is a first step towards that. It brings together a range of
researchers from academia and industry to provide answers.
Contributors include Alan Dix, Jacob Nielsen and Mary Beth Rosson
as well as a number of other researchers from academia and
industry.
