Michael Schwartzbach og jeg tog initiativ til et noget alternativt andendelskursus om "Software Malpractice" engang omkring 1984. Denne bog var en del af pensum.… (plus d'informations)

So far, mainstream interaction design is predominantly a visual/temporal field, even though the research labs have done interesting work in tangible user interfaces, haptics, auditory interaction and so on. Visualization of information has attracted quite a bit of interest and many ideas have been proposed. This book is the first extensive collection of articles and research reports in information visualization. More or less all important contributions from the 1980s and -90s are included and the result is a great source of inspiration for visualization work.… (plus d'informations)
