Riguardo questo articolo

Paperback. We've moved rapidly from a world where digital networks were specialized environments accessed via desktop computers to one where people spend most of their waking hours "on the grid" of networked digital devices, consumer objects, and physical places. From Facebook identity to ubiquitous mobility, technology keeps changing what "here" means, confounding deep assumptions our brains make about perception and meaning. Context Design provides a powerful toolset for understanding and solving the many problems created by contextual ambiguity. This book is ideal for information architects, user experience professionals, and designers of medium-to-large websites and applications. Learn how to create "embodied cognition" to understand how users respond to digital products, devices, and environments Explore the difference between location-aware mobility (geographical context) versus simultaneous presence (virtual context) Discover how composition and narrative structure can create cohesion over time and across channels Learn strategies for dealing with the digital dimension's blurring of the line between map and territory Examine how contextual ambiguity complicates personal identity This practical, insightful book provides a powerful toolset to help information architects, UX professionals, and web and app designers understand and solve the many challenges of contextual ambiguity in the products and services they create.

Riassunto

To make sense of the world, we're always trying to place things in context, whether our environment is physical, cultural, or something else altogether. Now that we live among digital, always-networked products, apps, and places, context is more complicated than ever--starting with "where" and "who" we are.

This practical, insightful book provides a powerful toolset to help information architects, UX professionals, and web and app designers understand and solve the many challenges of contextual ambiguity in the products and services they create. You'll discover not only how to design for a given context, but also how design participates in making context.

• Learn how people perceive context when touching and navigating digital environments
• See how labels, relationships, and rules work as building blocks for context
• Find out how to make better sense of cross-channel, multi-device products or services
• Discover how language creates infrastructure in organizations, software, and the Internet of Things
• Learn models for figuring out the contextual angles of any user experience
