TouchIT (ePub)

Alan Dix is a Professor and Director of the Computational Foundry at Swansea University, Wales, UK, a research centre built on the belief that addressing human needs and human values requires and inspires the deepest forms of fundamental science. Previously he spent 10 years in a mix of academic and commercial roles. Alan has worked in human-computer interaction research since the mid 1980s and is a member of the ACM SIGCHI Academy. He is the author
of one of the major international textbooks on HCI as well as numerous research publications from formal methods to design creativity, including some of the earliest papers in the HCI literature on topics such as privacy, mobile interaction, and gender and ethnic bias in intelligent algorithms.

Steve Gill is Director of Research and Professor of Interactive Product Design at Cardiff Metropolitan University, Wales, UK. He has around 80 publications including 3 patents, but 'Touch-IT' is his first book. While he has been an academic for well over two decades, Steve is, was and will always be an industrial designer at heart and his approach to academic research betrays that basic fact. Like all industrial designers Steve works across disciplines to deliver new
approaches, which is essentially how he met Alan. He has a long-standing interest in applied human-centred design approaches with physicality at their core. In recent years these have led to collaborations with computer scientists, engineers, artists, architects and medics, resulting in involvement in projects as diverse as
ultra-low cost trauma packs for sub-Saharan Africa and next generation VR.
