Usability and user experience

Abstract

Conferences, books, blogs, forums, magazines and courses related to the disciplines of usability, interaction and user experience have shown that the year 2009 saw some deepening in user-centered design techniques and gave more prominence to two key issues: web 2.0 sites and mobile devices designs. To this we must add the launch of interactive games based on augmented reality, a further step in interaction that, coupled with what the Wii offered us a couple of years ago, enables us to see where the videogame industry may be going, as well as the trends in interaction in the coming years.
