Re-imagining our interactions with the digital world

" To imagine the future of the digital world, considering technology alone is not enough : we need to think about our interactions with it.Human-machine interaction , a field of research aimed at enhancing human capabilities with those of the machine, poses a fundamental question : how can we ensure that computers meet the needs of the people who use them in all circumstances ?

Wendy E. Mackay guides us through the exploration of this vast field of thought, presenting the theoretical foundations and challenges of a multidisciplinary field that draws as much from the natural and social sciences as from computer science, engineering and design. "
