In The Human Factor, Kim Vicente coined the term 'Human-tech' to describe a more encompassing approach to the study of Human-Technology Interaction (HTI) than now exists in any of its participating disciplines, such as human factors, human-computer interaction, cognitive science and engineering, industrial design, informatics or applied psychology. Vicente's Human-tech approach addresses every level--physical, psychological, team, organizational, and political--at which technology has an impact on quality of life, and then identifies a human or societal need and tailors technology to what we…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
In The Human Factor, Kim Vicente coined the term 'Human-tech' to describe a more encompassing approach to the study of Human-Technology Interaction (HTI) than now exists in any of its participating disciplines, such as human factors, human-computer interaction, cognitive science and engineering, industrial design, informatics or applied psychology. Vicente's Human-tech approach addresses every level--physical, psychological, team, organizational, and political--at which technology has an impact on quality of life, and then identifies a human or societal need and tailors technology to what we know about human nature at that level. The articles collected in this book provide the technical foundation for the work presented in The Human Factor, and the commentaries by Alex Kirlik situate the articles in their broader scientific and ethical context. As the first book to integrate the research underlying Human-tech, and to describe the scientific challenges and ethical responsibilities that await those who design technology for people, Human-tech: Ethical and Scientific Foundations will appeal to students and scholars in all HTI disciplines.
