Summary
The authors of Thoughtful Interaction Design go beyond the usual technical concerns of usability and usefulness to consider interaction design from a design perspective. The shaping of digital artifacts is a design process that influences the form and functions of workplaces, schools, communication, and culture; the successful interaction designer must use both ethical and aesthetic judgment to create designs that are appropriate to a given environment. This book is not a how-to manual, but a…

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This is a fantastic book, one that reminds us that academic theories and design practice need not be artificially separated, as they are in many universities today. And it is refreshing to see someone really defining the digital design process and its related conceptual tools. Until now, digital design has mostly involved engineers borrowing feebly from the designer’s toolbox, and then adding in a bit of human dimension research for good measure. Here, Lowgren and Stolterman have situated digital design in the long and productive history of design process and critical thinking. Congratulations and thanks!”–Jeff Jones, Queensland University of Technology, and Australasian CRC for Interaction Design (ACID) “This is a fantastic book, one that reminds us that academic theories and design practice need not be artificially separated, as they are in many universities today.
