4.9/5 (29494 ratings)

Description:Over almost three decades, the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) has produceda rich and varied literature. Although the focus of attention today is naturally on new work, oldercontributions that played a role in shaping the trajectory and character of the field have much totell us. The contributors to HCI Remixed were asked to reflect on a single work at least ten yearsold that influenced their approach to HCI. The result is this collection of fifty-one short,engaging, and idiosyncratic essays, reflections on a range of works in a variety of forms that chartthe emergence of a new field. An article, a demo, a book: any of these can solve a problem,demonstrate the usefulness of a new method, or prompt a shift in perspective. HCI Remixed offers usglimpses of how this comes about. The contributors consider such HCI classics as Sutherland'sSketchpad, Englebart's demo of NLS, and Fitts on Fitts' Law--and such forgotten gems as Pulfer's NRCMusic Machine, and Galloway and Rabinowitz's Hole in Space. Others reflect on works somewhere inbetween classic and forgotten--Kidd's "The Marks Are on the Knowledge Worker," KingBeach's "Becoming a Bartender," and others. Some contributors turn to works in neighboringdisciplines--Henry Dreyfuss's book on industrial design, for example--and some range farther afield,to Lovelock's Gaia hypothesis and Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Takentogether, the essays offer an accessible, lively, and engaging introduction to HCI research thatreflects the diversity of the field's beginnings.Thomas Erickson is Research Staff Member at the IBMT.
