Handbook of Usability and User-Experience: Methods and Techniques
暫譯: 可用性與使用者體驗手冊：方法與技術

《可用性與使用者體驗手冊：方法與技術》專注於設計概念、人因知識的理論與應用中新興的可用性與使用者體驗，重點在於發現、設計及理解人類互動與產品及系統的可用性問題，以促進其改善。

本卷介紹設計具良好可用性、可及性及使用者滿意度的產品、系統與環境的方法與技術。它引入可用性的概念及其與使用者體驗的關聯，並討論可用性與使用者體驗（UX）的方法與模型。書中還介紹了相關的認知、文化、社會及經驗個體差異，這些差異對於理解、測量及利用這些差異在可用性與互動設計的研究中至關重要。此外，本書討論了使用可用性評估來改善醫療保健、建築環境中可用性與使用者體驗的關係、數位世界中可用性與使用者體驗的最新回顧、當前情境下的可用性與使用者體驗，以及新興技術。

我們希望這是兩卷中的第一卷能對眾多專業人士、學生及實務工作者有所幫助，幫助他們在各種應用中融入可用性與使用者體驗的原則與知識。我們相信本卷中所呈現的知識最終將增進對可用性好處的認識，並將可用性與使用者體驗的原則融入以改善我們生活中消費產品、系統及環境的質量、效能與效率。
