Multi-variant User Interfaces in E-commerce A Practical Approach to UI Personalization

English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 144 Pages | ISBN : 3031677579 | 24.5 MB
This book focuses on the personalisation of the user interface in e-commerce based on collected data on customer behaviour. While product recommendation systems are widely used for this purpose today, they do not allow for a comprehensive adaptation of the layout to different user groups. The proposed approach is based on the conclusion that since e-commerce customers are different, the user interface should also be different. To make this possible, several components need to be combined, which together allow the design of the online shop to be automatically or expertly adapted to the customer’s choices and behaviour. It presents and discusses a framework that allows data to be collected, processed and used to optimise UI variants for generated customer segments. The proposed approach has been verified in practice and further developed on this basis, so that the reader is presented with a solution that is not riddled with ‘baby age’ problems, and the limitations and challenges identified are described and commented on in detail. Typical e-commerce systems currently have a single UI for all customers. The implementation of multi-variant UIs therefore represents an opportunity for companies to create a marketing advantage by addressing the personalisation trends in e-commerce.

Interfaces of the Word Studies in the Evolution of Consciousness and Culture


Free Download Walter J. Ong, "Interfaces of the Word: Studies in the Evolution of Consciousness and Culture"
English | ISBN: 0801492408 | 2013 | 352 pages | EPUB | 831 KB
Drawing on a wide range of disciplines―linguistics, phenomenological analysis, cultural anthropology, media studies, and intellectual history―Walter J. Ong offers a reasoned and sophisticated view of human consciousness different in many respects from that of structuralism. The essays in Interfaces of the Word are grouped around the dialectically related themes of change or alienation and growth or integration. Among the subjects Ong covers are the origins of speech in mother tongues; the rise and final erosion of nonvernacular learned languages; and the fictionalizing of audiences that is enforced by writing. Other essays treat the idiom of African talking drums, the ways new media interface with the old, and the various connections between specific literary forms and shifts in media that register in the work of Shakespeare and Milton and in movements such as the New Criticism. Ong also discusses the paradoxically nonliterary character of the Bible and the concerted blurring of fiction and actuality that marked much drama and narrative toward the close of the twentieth century.

Design Behind Interaction Interfaces, Technology, Meanings


Free Download Design Behind Interaction: Interfaces, Technology, Meanings
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031674154 | 110 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB
This book investigates how digital transformation and technological innovations are challenging traditional design paradigms and redefining the conception of interfaces, suggesting a future where interfaces seamlessly integrate into or disappear within smart objects. Through the lens of Thingk, a university spin-off of the Politecnico di Milano, it addresses the practical application of theoretical design research in creating objects that, while analog in appearance, are technologically augmented, embracing a multidisciplinary approach that includes product design, communication, and interaction design. Covering an eight-year span of experimental design and analysis, it dives into how smart objects leverage context-awareness and situated meanings, engaging users from research and co-creation to validation. The significance of this book lies in its comprehensive analysis and insights into the design process behind such objects, underscoring the need for thorough examination of how semantic reconfigurations impact on affordances and agency. With a strong emphasis on a research-through-design approach and case studies, it bridges theoretical inquiry with practical applications, offering insights into the potentials of design-driven innovation in evolving user experiences.

Iberian Interfaces Literary and Cultural Relations between Spain and Portugal, 1870-1930


Free Download Antonio Sáez Delgado, "Iberian Interfaces: Literary and Cultural Relations between Spain and Portugal, 1870-1930"
English | ISBN: 3030917517 | 2022 | 193 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book explores a key historical moment for literary and cultural relations between Spain and Portugal. Focusing on the period between 1870 and 1930, it analyses the contacts between Portuguese and Spanish writers and artists of this period, showing that, at least among the cultural elites, there were intense and fruitful dialogues across political and linguistic borders. The book presents the Iberian Peninsula as a complex and multilingual cultural polysystem in which diverse literary cultures coexist and are mutually dependent upon each other. It offers a panoramic view of Iberian literary and cultural history, encompassing not just Portuguese and Spanish literary productions, but also Catalan, Galician and Basque works. Combining a clear theoretical foundation with deep historical knowledge and references to specific texts and works, the book offers a thorough introduction to Iberian literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century.
