Pervasive Information Architecture: Designing Cross-Channel User Experiences (Paperback)

As physical and digital interactions intertwine, new challenges for digital product designers and developers, as well as, industrial designers and architects are materializing. While well versed in designing navigation, organization, and labelling of websites and software, professionals are faced the crucial challenge of how to apply these techniques to information systems that cross communication channels that link the digital world to the physical world.

Pervasive Information Architecture provides examples showing why and how one would:

• Model and shape information to adapt itself to users' needs, goals, and seeking strategies
• Reduce disorientation and increase legibility and way-finding in digital and physical spaces
• Alleviate the frustration associated with choosing from an ever-growing set of information, services, and goods
• Suggest relevant connections between pieces of information, services and goods to help users achieve their goals.

*Master agile information structures while meeting the unique user needs on such devices as smart phones, GPS systems, and tablets

*Find out the 'why' and 'how' of pervasive information architecture (IA) through detailed examples and real-world stories

*Learn about trade-offs that can be made and techniques for even the most unique design challenges

隨著實體和數位互動交織在一起，數位產品設計師和開發人員，以及工業設計師和建築師面臨著新的挑戰。雖然他們在設計網站和軟體的導航、組織和標籤方面造詣深厚，但專業人士面臨著一個關鍵挑戰，即如何將這些技術應用於跨越連接數位世界和實體世界的通訊通道的資訊系統中。

《普遍資訊架構》提供了一些例子，展示了為什麼以及如何：

- 將資訊建模和塑造，以適應使用者的需求、目標和尋求策略
- 減少迷失感，增加數位和實體空間的易讀性和尋路能力
- 緩解在不斷增長的資訊、服務和商品集合中做出選擇時的挫折感
- 提供相關連接，幫助使用者實現他們的目標

同時，還可以：

- 掌握敏捷的資訊結構，滿足智慧手機、GPS系統和平板電腦等設備上獨特的使用者需求
- 通過詳細的例子和實際案例了解普遍資訊架構的「為什麼」和「如何」
- 學習在最獨特的設計挑戰中可以做出的權衡和技巧
