Interaction design is the process of creating interactive products to help people communicate and interact in their daily and professional lives. Interaction designers will need a diverse set of skills drawn from psychology, human-computer interaction, web design, computer science, information systems, and entertainment, as well as an understanding of people's desires and needs and the types of technology available to be successful.

Beyond Human-Computer Interaction provides a cross-disciplinary, practical, and process-oriented introduction to the field, demonstrating not only what principles should apply to interaction design, but also how they can be applied.

Interaction Design's fourth edition has been significantly updated to reflect this dynamic and fast-moving field, and it now includes:

• Wiley e-text with videos and Q&A
• Interaction Design in Practice is a new chapter.
• Many new and traditional interfaces are covered.
• 25 new talking-head videos featuring HCI experts who answer questions such as "has HCI gone too far?"
• A new section on emotional technology and automated emotion has been added.
• AgileUX and the maker movement are covered.
• Sections on social interaction and social media have been added.

Interaction Design is extremely popular among both students and professionals. It's a great place to start if you want to learn the interdisciplinary skills required for interaction design, human-computer interaction, information design, web design, and ubiquitous computing. A comprehensive website is available to accompany the text at http://www.id-book.com. which includes slides for each chapter, comments on chapter activities, and a number of in-depth case studies written by researchers and designers.
