With the coming flood of connected products many UX and interaction designers are looking into hardware design a discipline largely unfamiliar to them. If you8217re among those who want to blend digital and physical design concepts successfully this practical book helps you explore seven long-standing principles of industrial design.Two present and former design directors at IDEO the international design and innovation firm use real-world examples to describe industrial designs that are sensorial simple enduring playful thoughtful sustainable and beautiful. You8217ll learn how to approach frame and evaluate your designs as they extend beyond the screen and into the physical world.Sensorial create experiences that fully engage our human sensesSimple design simple products that provide overall clarity in relation to their purposeEnduring build products that wear well and live on as classicsPlayful use playful design to go beyond functionality and create emotional connectionsThoughtful observe people8217s struggles and anticipate their needsSustainable design products that reduce environmental impactBeautiful elevate the experience of everyday products through beauty Understanding Virtual Reality arrives at a time when the technologies behind virtual reality have advanced to the point that it is possible to develop and deploy meaningful productive virtual reality applications. The aim of this thorough accessible exploration is to help you take advantage of this moment equipping you with the understanding needed to identify and prepare for ways VR can be used in your field whatever your field may be.By approaching VR as a communications medium the authors have created a resource that will remain relevant even as the underlying technologies evolve. You get a history of VR along with a good look at systems currently in use. However the focus remains squarely on the application of VR and the many issues that arise in the application design and implementation including hardware requirements system integration interaction techniques and usability. This book also counters both exaggerated claims for VR and the view that would reduce it to entertainment citing dozens of real-world examples from many different fields and presenting (in a series of appendices) four in-depth application case studies.* Substantive illuminating coverage designed for technical and business readers and well-suited to the classroom.* Examines VR\'s constituent technologies drawn from visualization representation graphics human-computer interaction and other fields and explains how they are being united in cohesive VR systems.* Via a companion Web site provides additional case studies tutorials instructional materials and a link to an open-source VR programming system.
