Interactive media are a human-machine interface that allows people to connect with each other by making them active participants in the media they consume through text, graphics, audio and video. This book presents the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging media technologies to explore usability evaluation. It covers the current trends in interactive media technologies such as, Social Media, Dark Patterns, Internet of Things (IoT), Android Development, Assistive Technologies and Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR). It explores various application areas such Education, Film and Television, Agriculture, Cyber Security, Bird Conservation, Smart Vehicles, Fashion Technology and e-Learning. Key features of this edited book are as follows: ● Evaluates related Interactive Media Technologies and Applications for assessment and enhancement of their usability ● Illustrates current discussions on Interactive Media Technologies such as Social Media, Dark Patterns, Internet of Things (IoT), Android Development, Assistive Technologies and Augmented Reality (AR) / Virtual Reality (VR) ● Includes various case studies from application areas such as Education, Film and Television, Agriculture, Cyber Security, Bird Conservation, Smart Vehicles, Fashion Technology and e-Learning, which are helpful for researchers ● Presents concept illustrations with appropriate figures, tables and suitable descriptions in a reader-friendly way This book is ideal for both beginners and experts working in the fields of HCI, Multimedia Techniques and Next-Gen Technologies.

The author discusses the existing theoretical approaches of semiotically informed research in HCI, what is useful and the limitations. He proposes a radical rethink to this approach through a re-evaluation of important semiotic concepts and applied semiotic methods. Using a semiotic model of interaction he explores this concept through several studies that help to develop his argument. He concludes that this semiotics of interaction is more appropriate than other versions because it focuses on the characteristics of interactive media as they are experienced and the way in which users make sense of them rather than thinking about interface design or usability issues.

The time has come to move into a more humanistic approach of technology and to understand where our world is moving to in the early twenty-first century. The design and development of our future products needs to be orchestrated, whether they be conceptual, technical or organizational. Orchestrating Human-Centered Design presents an Orchestra model that attempts to articulate technology, organizations and people. Human-centered design (HCD) should not be limited to local/short-term/linear engineering, but actively focus on global/long-term/non-linear design, and constantly identify emergent properties from the use of artifacts. Orchestrating Human-Centered Design results from incremental syntheses of courses the author has given at the Florida Institute of Technology in the HCD PhD program. It is focused on technological and philosophical concepts that high-level managers, technicians and all those interested in the design of artifacts should consider. Our growing software -intensive world imposes better knowledge on cognitive engineering, life-critical systems, complexity analysis, organizational design and management, modeling and simulation, and advanced interaction media, and this well-constructed and informative book provides a road map for this.
