Ubiquitous
computing has a vision of information and interaction being embedded in the
world around us; this forms the basis of this book. Built environments are
subjects of design and architects have seen digital elements incorporated into
the fabric of buildings as a way of creating environments that meet the dynamic
challenges of future habitation.

Embark on a captivating exploration of human-centered computing and AI, where the convergence of technology and humaninteraction unveils a world of endless possibilities. In the age of wireless communication, pervasive computing, and the Internet of Things, the synergy between humans and machines has never been more profound. This book delves deep into the heart of this symbiotic relationship, shedding light on the intricate dynamics that define our digital landscape.
From the humble human-computer communications, via simple interaction points, to the complex web of virtual networks, every aspect of this journey is meticulously examined. Through a lens of innovation and insight, we navigate within the complex terrain of user actions, individual differences, and algorithmic computations. At the core of our exploration lies a quest for understanding—a quest that transcends the boundaries of traditional research and ventures into the realm of cutting-edge technology.
Special emphasis is placed on promoting original insights and paradigms, incorporating aspects derived from psychological theory and individual differences in adaptive computational systems and recommenders. Our goal is simple yet ambitious: by enhancing explainability, fairness, transparency, and decreasing bias during interactions, to empower users with greater control and understanding of the technologies that shape their lives.
Through a blend of visual storytelling and specialized textual contributions, we invite you to join us on this extraordinary journey. Whether you're a researcher, practitioner, or enthusiast in the field of AI and human-computerinteraction, this book offers valuable insights and perspectives. Prepare to be inspired, enlightened, and empowered through this transformative journey as we unlock the true potential of technology in service of humanity.

It was a pleasure to provide an introduction to a new volume on user experience evaluation in games. The scope, depth, and diversity of the work here is amazing. It attests to the growing popularity of games and the increasing importance developing a range of theories, methods, and scales to evaluate them. This evolution is driven by the cost and complexity of games being developed today. It is also driven by the need to broaden the appeal of games. Many of the approaches described here are enabled by new tools and techniques. This book (along with a few others) represents a watershed in game evaluation and understanding. The eld of game evaluation has truly “come of age”. The broader eld of HCI can begin to look toward game evaluation for fresh, critical, and sophisticated thi- ing about design evaluation and product development. They can also look to games for groundbreaking case studies of evaluation of products. I’ll brie y summarize each chapter below and provide some commentary. In conclusion, I will mention a few common themes and offer some challenges. Discussion In Chapter 1, User Experience Evaluation in Entertainment, Bernhaupt gives an overview and presents a general framework on methods currently used for user experience evaluation. The methods presented in the following chapters are s- marized and thus allow the reader to quickly assess the right set of methods that will help to evaluate the game under development.
