Overview
Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) is an interdisciplinary field that has gained recognition as an important field in ergonomics. HCI draws on ideas and theoretical concepts from computer science, psychology, industrial design, and other fields. Human–Computer Interaction is no longer limited to trained software users. Today people interact with various devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. How can you make such interaction user friendly, even when user proficiency levels vary? This book explores methods for assessing the psychological complexity of computer-based tasks. It also presents methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis of exploratory activity during interaction with a computer.

Reviews
The book overcomes the traditional separation between cognition, behavior, and motivation using a systemic approach to the analysis of human work activity. The new approach enables a more user-friendly design of tasks in HCI and ergonomic design of complex human-machine systems such as operation of automatic or semiautomatic systems. ... The authors did an outstanding job. -Helmut Strasser, Ergonomics Division Siegen University/Germany ... presents a new systemic view based on activity theory to a very challenging multi-dimensional field. ... The theory presented in the book is put into practice and can be used also by practitioners in different fields. -Jussi Kantola Professor, University of Vaasa, Finland
