Edited by: Kikuo Asai

ISBN 978-953-7619-14-5, Hard cover, 382 pages
Publisher: InTech
Publication date: October 2008
Subject: Human-Computer Interaction

The book consists of 20 chapters, each addressing a certain aspect of human-computer interaction. Each chapter gives the reader background information on a subject and proposes an original solution. This should serve as a valuable tool for professionals in this interdisciplinary field. Hopefully, readers will contribute their own discoveries and improvements, innovative ideas and concepts, as well as novel applications and business models related to the field of human-computer interaction. It is our wish that the reader consider not only what our authors have written and the experimentation they have described, but also the examples they have set.
