ISBN 978-953-7619-15-2 1. Human-Computer. 2. Interaction I. Shane Pinder V Preface It is an impossible task to bring together, under a single cover, the many facets of human- computer interaction. After all, we have come a long way in the past several decades, to a point where we consider not only what may be intuitive to the designer, but rather the user, the environment, and the intent of our efforts. No single person can claim expertise across the entire field, which now brings together professions that formerly did not share the same vocabulary and still, in many cases, do not share the same philosophy. It is only appropri- ate that the study of human-machine interaction reveals a greater complexity within human- to-human interaction. In these 34 chapters, we survey the broad disciplines that loosely inhabit the study and practice of human-computer interaction. Our authors are passionate advocates of innova- tive applications, novel approaches, and modern advances in this exciting and developing field. 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. This book brings together the work of experts around the world who have used their expertise to overcome barriers in language, culture, and abilities, to name only a few challenges. The editors would like to thank the authors, who have committed so much effort to the publication of this work.
