      The blind person attempting to make an online purchase. The young girl who cannot speak due to a cognitive disability. The man confined to his home due to permanent injury. The single mother with a long-term illness who struggles to feed her family. The neurodivergent jobseeker trying to launch their career. Digital access to employment, education, healthcare, companionship and security are essential in today’s world. With one in six people worldwide currently living with some form of a disability, the term "outcast" covers a wide continuum of critical life impacts. As the number of people with disabilities increases, poorly designed products and services risk alienating this important and growing population. “Digital outcasts” is a term used to describe those left behind the technological curve, due either to a lack of accessibility or the social, economic, and political attributes often associated with disability. Through a grass roots approach to innovation, however, digital outcasts are taking action to transform their lives, homes, and communities. The legacy of human-computer interaction is scaffolded upon the efforts of the disenfranchised user, evinced by the role disability has historically played as a catalyst for design innovation. Citing real-world case studies spanning law, healthcare, creative arts, and social science, Digital Outcasts 2e examines the emergent cultural impact of inclusive design on today’s industrial landscape. Taking into account new legal and technological perspectives, this revision stands as an update on the progress we’ve made—and how far we’ve yet to go.

      Despite the fact that older adults constitute an ever-growing proportion of the technology-using population, they have often been overlooked when researchers study the habits, abilities, and needs of various user groups. Similarly, many developers and researchers come up short when trying to create new technologies, devices, and interfaces that will satisfy a more general user profile. User study participants have tended to be younger, physically and cognitively fit, and technologically savvy. In Designing User Interfaces for an Aging Population, Second Edition, the authors present the demographics of older adults as a broad group, and describe general sensory, cognitive, physical, and emotional characteristics of older adults. Each age-related characteristic is linked to its potential impact on older adults’ use of digital technology, with examples of problematic technology designs. To improve the user satisfaction, success, and overall experience of using (digital) technology, the authors offer specific design guidelines. These guidelines have been derived from the findings and evidence presented in hundreds of research studies. The studies are sourced from around the world, and address a wide range of study participants and technologies. The second edition is thoroughly updated, including examples, guidelines, and case studies to reflect recent developments in the areas of AI, Robotics, Speech Recognition, and other relevant emerging technologies. Readers will benefit from learning: demographics of users of digital technology; age-related factors affecting ability to use digital technology; common design issues that decrease usability for older adults; guidelines that can help designers avoid these common pitfalls; methods for working with older adults on research and design projects.

      The discipline of user experience (UX) design has matured into a confident practice and this edition reflects, and in some areas accelerates, that evolution. Technically this is the second edition of The UX Book, but so much of it is new, it is more like a sequel. One of the major positive trends in UX is the continued emphasis on design—a kind of design that highlights the designer’s creative skills and insights and embodies a synthesis of technology with usability, usefulness, aesthetics, and meaningfulness to the user. In this edition a new conceptual top-down design framework is introduced to help readers with this evolution. This entire edition is oriented toward an agile UX lifecycle process, explained in the funnel model of agile UX, as a better match to the now de facto standard agile approach to software engineering. To reflect these trends, even the subtitle of the book is changed to “Agile UX design for a quality user experience”. Designed as a how-to-do-it handbook and field guide for UX professionals and a textbook for aspiring students, the book is accompanied by in-class exercises and team projects. The approach is practical rather than formal or theoretical. The primary goal is still to imbue an understanding of what a good user experience is and how to achieve it. To better serve this, processes, methods, and techniques are introduced early to establish process-related concepts as context for discussion in later chapters.
