Now, two decades later, Laurel has revised and revamped her influential work, reflecting back on enormous change and personal experience and forward toward emerging technologies and ideas that will transform human-computer interaction yet again. Beginning with a clear analysis of classical drama theory, Laurel explores new territory through the lens of dramatic structure and purpose. Computers as Theatre, Second Edition, is directed to a far wider audience, is written more simply and elegantly, is packed with new examples, and is replete with exciting and important new ideas.
This book
Draws lessons from massively multiplayer online games and systems, social networks, and mobile devices with embedded sensors
Integrates values-driven design as a key principle
Integrates key ideas about virtual reality
Covers new frontiers, including augmented reality, distributed and participatory sensing, interactive public installations and venues, and design for emergence
Once more, Brenda Laurel will help you see the connection between humans and computers as you never have before-and help you build interfaces and interactions that are pleasurably, joyously right!
