Designing for Emerging Technologies: UX for Genomics, Robotics, and the Internet of Things

Rate this book
The recent digital and mobile revolutions are a minor blip compared to the next wave of technological change, as everything from robot swarms to skin-top embeddable computers and bio printable organs start appearing in coming years. In this collection of inspiring essays, designers, engineers, and researchers discuss their approaches to experience design for groundbreaking technologies. Design not only provides the framework for how technology works and how itâ??s used, but also places it in a broader context that includes the total ecosystem with which it interacts and the possibility of unintended consequences. If youâ??re a UX designer or engineer open to complexity and dissonant ideas, this book is a revelation. Contributors

Written in 2014 with examples from before that, this book still has much you are likely to have not thought about or seen before in 2016. The book has a number of authors who write of their areas of expertise chapter by chapter.

I recommend this for designers, engineers, biological researchers, and knowledge based developers. You are likely to enjoy reading and find stimulating the vast majority of this book.

This smartly edited book is segmented into individual chapters written by some clear-thinking, very smart design engineer-types. The subject matter held my attention throughout and fit nicely with some side pursuits I am interested in. The book was a nice accompaniment to a University of Pennsylvania class on gamification I recently took.

Bogen er et mega godt 'hans-on' opslagsværk og en 'must-read' for alle dem som interesserer sig for innovation, productdesign, applikationer og teknologi. I bogen finder man de bedste af de bedste designere, ingeniører og reseachers og lader dem diskutere deres fremgangsmetoder til oplevelsesdesign i fremtidens teknologier.

Basic and dull. Talks about applications and problems rather than solutions or techniques. While I agree more people should be considering alternative interfaces, this doesn't add anything to the discussion.
