Computers as Theatre, 2/e (Paperback)

Brenda Laurel

商品描述

Brenda Laurel's Computers as Theatre revolutionized the field of human-computer interaction, offering ideas that inspired generations of interface and interaction designers-and continue to inspire them. Laurel's insight was that effective interface design, like effective drama, must engage the user directly in an experience involving both thought and emotion. Her practical conclusion was that a user's enjoyment must be a paramount design consideration, and this demands a deep awareness of dramatic theory and technique, both ancient and modern.

 

Now, two decades later, Laurel has revised and revamped her influential work, reflecting back on enormous change and personal experience and forward toward emerging technologies and ideas that will transform human-computer interaction yet again. Beginning with a clear analysis of classical drama theory, Laurel explores new territory through the lens of dramatic structure and purpose.  Computers as Theatre, Second Edition, is directed to a far wider audience, is written more simply and elegantly, is packed with new examples, and is replete with exciting and important new ideas. 

  • This book
  • Draws lessons from massively multiplayer online games and systems, social networks, and mobile devices with embedded sensors
  • Integrates values-driven design as a key principle
  • Integrates key ideas about virtual reality
  • Covers new frontiers, including augmented reality, distributed and participatory sensing, interactive public installations and venues, and design for emergence

Once more, Brenda Laurel will help you see the connection between humans and computers as you never have before-and help you build interfaces and interactions that are pleasurably, joyously right!

商品描述(中文翻譯)

Brenda Laurel的《Computers as Theatre》革命了人機互動領域,提出的理念啟發了一代又一代的界面和互動設計師,並持續激發著他們。Laurel的洞察力是,有效的界面設計,就像有效的戲劇一樣,必須直接讓使用者參與其中,涉及思考和情感。她的實際結論是,使用者的樂趣必須是主要的設計考慮因素,這需要對古代和現代的戲劇理論和技巧有深刻的認識。
