The application of future thinking in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has gained significant importance in recent years. The integration of speculative thinking with approaches to future design has enabled HCI to explore the potential impacts of technology on the digital society. However, the implementation and application of future thinking in HCI research have not been clearly defined. Digital Futures in Human-Computer Interaction: Design Thinking for Digital Transformation fills this gap by analyzing systematically the innovation trends of HCI in the digital era.
This book focuses on the dialogue between digital transformation and future thinking for shaping HCI, including trends, literacy, competence and practice, and influence in the HCI field. It highlights significant trends and advancements in future studies within HCI and features case studies that offer a comprehensive understanding of the role of future thinking. It gives the reader a wide overview of the subject area whilst detailing the competencies and practices that can make future design a likely success.
This readable and interesting reference will appeal to students, academics and researchers interested in diverse design aspects linked to HCI including services design, sustainable design, product design, space design, visual communication, design education, futures studies, and social innovation.
