Free Download Kara Pernice, "Eyetracking Web Usability"
English | 2009 | pages: 457 | ISBN: 0321498364 | PDF | 37,6 mb
Eyetracking Web Usability is based on one of the largest studies of eyetracking usability in existence. Best-selling author Jakob Nielsen and coauthor Kara Pernice used rigorous usability methodology and eyetracking technology to analyze 1.5 million instances where users look at Web sites to understand how the human eyes interact with design. Their findings will help designers, software developers, writers, editors, product managers, and advertisers understand what people see or don’t see, when they look, and why.

Free Download Usability Engineering in der E-Collaboration: Ein managementorientierter Ansatz für virtuelle Teams By Rainer Haas (auth.)
2004 | 325 Pages | ISBN: 3824421755 | PDF | 19 MB
Unternehmen werden in Zukunft verstärkt mit virtuellen Teams und neuen Technologien wie E-Collaborationsplattformen arbeiten. Oft werden allerdings Investitionen in neue Technologien vorgenommen, ohne die individuellen und organisatorischen Rahmenbedingungen adäquat zu berücksichtigen. Eine verbesserte Usability beugt der Ablehnung durch die Nutzer vor und steigert den ökonomischen Nutzen. Rainer Haas zeigt, dass Usability Engineering, d.h. die gemeinsame Optimierung von Technologie und organisatorischen Rahmenbedingungen, eine erhebliche Steigerung der Produktivität bewirkt, da Arbeitsaufgaben in kürzerer Zeit und unter geringerer psychischer Belastung durchgeführt werden. Am Beispiel der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft behandelt er folgende Themen: " Erfolgsfaktoren für das Innovationsmanagement zwischen Unternehmen, " Beurteilung der Qualität von Web-Applikationen durch die Usabilityforschung, " Eignung von E-Collaborationsplattformen zur Produktentwicklung und " effizientes Management virtueller Teams.

Free Download Funology: From Usability to Enjoyment By Mark A. Blythe, Kees Overbeeke, Andrew F. Monk, Peter C. Wright (eds.)
2005 | 293 Pages | ISBN: 1402029675 | PDF | 4 MB
This book reflects the move in Human Computer Interaction studies from standard usability concerns towards a wider set of problems to do with fun, enjoyment, aesthetics and the experience of use. Traditionally HCI has been concerned with work and task based applications but as digital technologies proliferate in the home fun becomes an important issue. There is an established body of knowledge and a range of techniques and methods for making products and interfaces usable, but far less is known about how to make them enjoyable. Perhaps in the future there will be a body of knowledge and a set of techniques for assessing the pleasure of interaction that will be as thorough as those that currently assess usability. This book is a first step towards that. It brings together a range of researchers from academia and industry to provide answers. Contributors include Alan Dix, Jacob Nielsen and Mary Beth Rosson as well as a number of other researchers from academia and industry.

Free Download Patrick W. Jordan, "An Introduction To Usability"
English | 2002| pages: 131 | ISBN: 0748407626, Hardcover | PDF | 115,5 mb
This work gives a broad introductory overview of the topic of usability. Firstly, usability is defined and a framework for identifying different aspects of usability is given. The main principles for creating usable designs are expounded, followed by practical advice as to how to design usable products. The book then tackles the issue of usability evaluation – a series of evaluation methods are described, followed by practical advice as to how to conduct the evaluation. The book draws on examples from software design and product design generally. This means whilst human-computer interaction HCI is a central issue in the book, other usability issues are also covered.
