Delves into the evolving landscape of human-technology interaction (HTI), encompassing various facets from design and implementation to psychological impacts and strategic considerations. The book begins with foundational theories in HTI and strategic design, progressing to practical applications and implications across multiple domains such as human-robot interaction, augmented and virtual reality, and the Internet of Things. Subsequent chapters explore the integration of AI and machine learning with human processes, the psychological effects of technology, and user experience design.
The authors address specialized areas including assistive technologies, game design, and the fusion of art, science, and technology and discuss the role of technology in learning and education, and urban sustainability through digital innovations. Concluding with a look at future trends like transhumanism, Human-Technology Interaction - Interdisciplinary Approaches and Perspectives offers a comprehensive analysis of how technologies shape human experiences, behaviours, and societal development.
