Description
This book presents the proceedings of HCI '87, the major annual European conference on human computer interaction to be held in Exeter from 7-11 September 1987. The papers of People and Computer III reflect the goals of the conference: to represent the current state of human computer interaction; to increase communication between people working in the different disciplines within human computer interaction and; to discuss the future developments within the field. Contributions are included from leading researchers and designers in both industry and academia. The book represents a comprehensive guide to current research in human computer interaction which will be essential reading for all researchers, designers and manufacturers whose work impinges on this rapidly moving field. It will be of particular interest to researchers in computer science, ergonomics, electrical engineering and psychology, and to others concerned with improving communications between people and computers.
