Review:
|
Beyond the Desktop is a clear and entertaining summary of research on various interaction devices, including: keyboards, pointing devices, speech recognizers, and gestural inputs, face recognition, and wearable computers. Baber summarizes existing research, points out flaws in some common beliefs about interaction devices and theories, and highlights current issues for practitioners and theorist. The author's careful dissection and analysis of the QWERTY keyboard history was invigorating.
