Designing Connected Products

Claire is a UX design, research, and product strategy consultant who specializes in internet of things products and services for mainstream consumers. Since 1997, she has worked in UX design and research for mobile, multiplatform, and web services.

In her design, research, and writing, Elizabeth Goodman investigates the possibilities and risks of emerging technologies. Her PhD in information science from UC Berkeley's School of Information in 2014 focused on human-computer interaction and design practice for novel technologies, and was funded by National Science Foundation and Intel fellowships.

The Internet of Things can (and will) enable new ways for people to interact with the world around them, as evidenced by networked thermostats, fitness monitors, and door locks. However, designing connected products for consumers presents new challenges in addition to traditional software UI and interaction design.

This book provides experienced user experience (UX) designers and technologists with a clear and practical roadmap for approaching consumer product strategy and design in this new market. Among the best books on interaction design, Designing Connected Products provides sound advice for working with cross-device interactions and the complex ecosystems inherent in IoT technology by drawing on the best of current design practice and academic research.
