• Wiley e-text featuring videos and Q&A
• New chapter – Interaction Design in Practice
• Coverage of many new and traditional interfaces
• 25 new talking-head videos with HCI experts answering questions like “has HCI gone too far?”
• New section on emotional tech and automated emotion
• Coverage of AgileUX and the maker movement
• New sections on social interaction and social media

Interaction Design is hugely popular with students and professionals alike. It is an ideal resource for learning the interdisciplinary skills needed for interaction design, human–computer interaction, information design, web design, and ubiquitous computing. Accompanying the text is an extensive website athttp://www.id-book.comwhich contains additional teaching and learning material including slides for each chapter, comments on chapter activities, and a number of in-depth case studies written by researchers and designers.
