Gaming and entertainment systems are being transformed. Human-computer interaction is shown as a discipline in its own right as well as how it overlaps with many other domains in computer science, socialscience and engineering. This handbook covers all the pertinent topics whilst maintaining an overall perspective regarding the value of humans over technology, furthering and advancing the value of life, the rights of humanity, and human experience.
