Book Description
Designing User Interfaces for an Aging Population: Towards Universal Design presents age-friendly design guidelines that are well-established, agreed-upon, research-based, actionable, and applicable across a variety of modern technology platforms. The book offers guidance for product engineers, designers, or students who want to produce technological products and online services that can be easily and successfully used by older adults and other populations. It presents typical age-related characteristics, addressing vision and visual design, hand-eye coordination and ergonomics, hearing and sound, speech and comprehension, navigation, focus, cognition, attention, learning, memory, content and writing, attitude and affect, and general accessibility. The authors explore characteristics of aging via realistic personas which demonstrate the impact of design decisions on actual users over age 55. - Presents the characteristics of older adults that can hinder use of technology - Provides guidelines for designing technology that can be used by older adults and younger people - Review real-world examples of designs that implement the guidelines and the designs that violate them

Pages : 13
Book Description
The truly world-wide reach of the Web has brought with it a new realisation of the enormous importance of usability and user interface design. In the last ten years, much has become understood about what works in search interfaces from a usability perspective, and what does not. Researchers and practitioners have developed a wide range of innovative interface ideas, but only the most broadly acceptable make their way into major web search engines. This book summarizes these developments, presenting the state of the art of search interface design, both in academic research and in deployment in commercial systems. Many books describe the algorithms behind search engines and information retrieval systems, but the unique focus of this book is specifically on the user interface. It will be welcomed by industry professionals who design systems that use search interfaces as well as graduate students and academic researchers who investigate information systems.

Computer Applications In Agriculture
Author: William Otto RasmussenPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429717768
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
U.S. agriculture appears to be at a major turning point in terms of technological change and innovation as it enters the information age[1]and at the heart of the information revolution is the microcomputer. This handbook explains in practical terms how computers are being used in agriculture and analyzes some of the issues surrounding present and potential computer applications. The authors define agriculture in the broadest possible terms, including the traditional aspects of farming, the industries supporting agriculture, service bureaus related to agriculture, classroom instruction and youth development, and the rural family and community. Considered are specific ways microcomputers are changing agriculture, the exact nature of these changes, and how agriculturists are currently adapting microprocessor technology to make agriculture more efficient and viable. Also included is a discussion of the computer software and hardware used in agriculture today, hardware and software purchasing strategies for both individuals and institutions, and sources of information on computer applications in agriculture.
