Produktbeschreibung

The role of human factors in product design has, in the past, pertained almost exclusively to product usability, but increased recognition is being given to "pleasure-based" human factors. This emphasizes the holistic nature of the experience of person-product interaction. While traditional approaches tended to characterize the user in terms of physical or cognitive processing capabilities, new human factors approaches are concerned with wider lifestyle issues. Pleasure With Products: Beyond Usability gives an overview of recent developments in human factors approaches and consists of specially invited contributions from leading practitioners in both industry and academia.
