Computing devices havebecome ever more present in our everyday environments; however embedding thesetechnologies into our routines has remained a challenge. This book exploresthe novel theory of peripheral interaction to rectify this. This theory examines how interactivesystems canbe developed in such a way to allow people to seamlessly interact withtheir computer devices; but only focus on them at relevant times; building onthe way in which people effortlessly divide their attention over severaleveryday activities in day to day life. Capturing the currentstate of the art within the field; this book explores the history and foundationaltheories of peripheral interaction; discussesnovel interactive styles suitable for peripheral interaction; addressesdifferent application domains which can benefit from peripheral interaction andpresents visions of how thesedevelopments can have a positive impact on our future lives. As such; thisbookrsquo;s aim is to contribute to research and practice in fields such ashuman-computer interaction; ubiquitous computing and Internet of Things; a viewon how interactive technology could be redesigned to form a meaningful; yetunobtrusive part of peoplersquo;s everyday lives.Peripheral Interaction will be highly beneficial to researchers anddesigners alike in areas such as HCI; Ergonomics and Interaction Design.
