Understanding Mobile Human-Computer Interaction (Information Systems Series (ISS))

Taking a psychological perspective, this book examines the role of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in the field of mobile information systems research. The text begins by exploring the basic tenets of the HCI discipline, including the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, with increasing focus on the application of HCI methodologies and techniques in mobile HCI research. The author examines the research areas where HCI has not yet been fully exploited in relation to mobile information systems and services, such as broadening user groups and user acceptance of technology, and a range of guidelines and technical tips are provided to aid students looking to undertake their own mobile HCI-based research projects.
