Book Reviews

  • @ThatLousyGuy Now you should read "The Hand" by Frank Wilson. You'll have an even greater time. https://t.co/Dvug6KXsvB I first got into Hands because I was preparing to design a gestural UI, and I was studying how people use their hands.Link to Tweet
  • @sjors Your essay is really good. The @dourish book is a great foundation. This focus on place in design is captured in the notion of Ubiety (vs Ubiquity). Look also at Ed Hutchins' Cognition in the Wild & Frank Wilson's, The Hand. https://t.co/7aNHlUYioILink to Tweet
