Human-computer confluence refers to an invisible, implicit, embodied or even implanted interaction between humans and system components. New classes of user interfaces are emerging that make use of several sensors and are able to adapt their physical properties to the current situational context of users. A key aspect of human-computer confluence is its potential for transforming human experience in the sense of bending, breaking and blending the barriers between the real, the virtual and the augmented, to allow users to experience their body and their world in new ways. Research on Presence, Embodiment and Brain-Computer Interface is already exploring these boundaries and asking questions such as: Can we seamlessly move between the virtual and the real? Can we assimilate fundamentally new senses through confluence? The aim of this book is to explore the boundaries and intersections of the multidisciplinary field of HCC and discuss its potential applications in different domains, including healthcare, education, training and even arts.

Explore fundamentals, strategies, and emerging techniques in the field of human-computer interaction to enhance how users and computers interact Key Features Explore various HCI techniques and methodologies to enhance the user experience Delve into user behavior analytics to solve common and not-so-common challenges faced while designing user interfaces Learn essential principles, techniques and explore the future of HCI Book Description Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a field of study that researches, designs, and develops software solutions that solve human problems. This book will help you understand various aspects of the software development phase, from planning and data gathering through to the design and development of software solutions. The book guides you through implementing methodologies that will help you build robust software. You will perform data gathering, evaluate user data, and execute data analysis and interpretation techniques. You'll also understand why human-centered methodologies are successful in software development, and learn how to build effective software solutions through practical research processes. The book will even show you how to translate your human understanding into software solutions through validation methods and rapid prototyping leading to usability testing. Later, you will understand how to use effective storytelling to convey the key aspects of your software to users. Throughout the book, you will learn the key concepts with the help of historical figures, best practices, and references to common challenges faced in the software industry. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with HCI strategies and methodologies to design effective user interfaces. What you will learn Become well-versed with HCI and UX concepts Evaluate prototypes to understand data gathering, analysis, and interpretation techniques Execute qualitative and quantitative methods for establishing humans as a feedback loop in the software design process Create human-centered solutions and validate these solutions with the help of quantitative testing methods Move ideas from the research and definition phase into the software solution phase Improve your systems by becoming well-versed with the essential design concepts for creating user interfaces Who this book is for This book is for software engineers, UX designers, entrepreneurs, or anyone who is just getting started with user interface design and looking to gain a sol...

"In the new era of digital communication, collective problem solving is increasingly important. With the internet and digitalization of information, large groups can now solve problems together in completely different ways than are possible in offline settings (Lévy, 1999). These novel online technologies and practices challenge our conceptions of individualized human problem solving in various domains, including art, science, industry, business, education, technology, software design and medicine. It is urgent that we rethink our understanding of intelligence in a profound way. Among scholars, collective intelligence (CI) is increasingly used as a broad, multidisciplinary term to describe new types of collective problem solving. This notion of intelligence is not about individual ability or computer algorithms; rather, it describes how collectives of people, both small and very large groups, solve problems. This book intends to give an overview of some of the most important basic problem-solving mechanisms that comprise CI"-- Provided by publisher.
