Human-computer interaction (HCI) refers to the usage and designing of computer technology for communication between the computer and the user. As a field of research, HCI studies the way humans interact with computers and design technologies that facilitate this interaction. An interface between humans and computers is essential to this interaction. Internet browsers, desktop applications, computer kiosks and handheld computers use graphical user interfaces. Voice user interfaces are required for speech synthesizing and speech recognition systems. Research in this domain is focused on designing new computer interfaces, implementing interfaces, studying human computer use and sociocultural implications, etc. The ever-growing need of advanced technology is the reason that has fueled the research in the field of human-computer interaction in recent times. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed this discipline and aided its advancement. As this field is emerging at a rapid pace, the contents of this book will help the readers understand the modern concepts and applications of the subject.

Technology has opened a wide window of novel communication methods and techniques and has become ubiquitous in modern society. With advancements occurring rapidly and transforming practices and efficiencies within all fields including business, education, medicine, engineering, and so on, it is important to remain up to date on the latest research findings. Human-Computer Interaction and Technology Integration in Modern Society is a critical reference source that examines the integration of technological innovations into every aspect of modern society including education and business. Highlighting important topics that include digitization, human development, knowledge management, and open innovation, this book is ideal for IT specialists, policymakers, professionals, academicians, researchers, practitioners, and students.

Emotions and Affect in Human Factors and Human–Computer Interaction is a complete guide for conducting affect-related research and design projects in H/F and HCI domains. Introducing necessary concepts, methods, approaches, and applications, the book highlights how critical emotions and affect are to everyday life and interaction with cognitive artifacts. The text covers the basis of neural mechanisms of affective phenomena, as well as representative approaches to Affective Computing, Kansei Engineering, Hedonomics, and Emotional Design. The methodologies section includes affect induction techniques, measurement techniques, detection and recognition techniques, and regulation models and strategies. The application chapters discuss various H/F and HCI domains: product design, human–robot interaction, behavioral health and game design, and transportation. Engineers and designers can learn and apply psychological theories and mechanisms to account for their affect-related research and can develop their own domain-specific theory. The approach outlined in this handbook works to close the existing gap between the traditional affect research and the emerging field of affective design and affective computing. - Provides a theoretical background of affective sciences - Demonstrates diverse affect induction methods in actual research settings - Describes sensing technologies, such as brain–computer interfaces, facial expression detection, and more - Covers emotion modeling and its application to regulation processes - Includes case studies and applied examples in a variety of H/F and HCI application areas - Addresses emerging interdisciplinary areas including Positive Technology, Subliminal Perception, Physiological Computing, and Aesthetic Computing
