Handbook of Driving Simulation for Engineering, Medicine, and Psychology

Edited by

Donald L. Fisher, Matthew Rizzo, Jeffrey Caird, and John D. Lee

The reason that good interfaces are few and far between is really quite simple:

they are extremely difficult to design and build properly. While there are many books available that address display design, most of them focus on aesthetic principles but lack scientific rigor, or are descriptive but not prescriptive. This book elucidates an overarching framework for design that can be applied to the broad spectrum of existing domains. The authors delineate analytical tools and principles of design that are general and powerful, but very abstract, accompanied by concrete examples of their use in a variety of domains of application. The book includes access to a website containing examples of the dynamic properties of displays.

With the increase of globalization of business and industry, IT products and services are produced and marketed across geographical cultural boundaries without any consideration of culture. There is a high probability that IT products and services developed in one country may not be effectively used in another country, which may hinder market penetration and sales and use of IT products and services. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the psychological foundations of cross-cultural design. The text presents methodology for assessing similarities, differences, likes, dislikes, and difficulties with different information appliance products and information services.
