Design Thinking

Finally, a book on creative programming, written directly for artists and designers! Rather than following a computer science curriculum, this book is aimed at creatives who are working in the intersection of design, art, and education. In this book you'll learn to apply computation into the creative process by following a four-step process, and through this, land in the cross section of coding and art, with a focus on practical examples and relevant work structures. You'll follow a real-world use case of computation art and see how it relates back to the four key pillars and addresses potential pitfalls and challenges in the creative process. All code examples are presented in a fully integrated Processing example library, making it easy for readers to get started. This unique and finely balanced approach between skill acquisition and the creative process and development makes Coding Art a functional reference book for both creative programming and the creative process for professors and students alike. What You'll Learn • Review ideas and approaches from creative programming to different professional domains • Work with computational tools like the Processing language • Understand the skills needed to move from static elements to animation to interaction • Use interactivity as input to bring creative concepts closer to refinement and depth • Simplify and extend the design of aesthetics, rhythms, and smoothness with data structures • Leverage the diversity of art code on other platforms like the web or mobile applications • Understand the end-to-end process of computation art through real world use cases • Study best practices, common pitfalls, and challenges of the creative process Who This Book Is For Those looking to see what computation and data can do for their creative expression, learners who want to integrate computation and data into their practices in different perspectives, and those who already know how to program, seeking creativity and inspiration in the context of computation and data.

Extending traditional digital platforms to the new frontier of extended reality (XR) requires taking into account what best practices, new concepts, and conventions have been established and what learnings can be brought forward from case studies involving industry leaders. By looking at practical examples from the field of handheld AR breakthroughs, virtual reality (VR) success stories and experimental interaction concept of pioneering XR platforms, you'll see how it's possible to map out a framework of user experience (UX) guidelines to close in on opportunities and challenges that lay ahead. This book defines, identifies, and analyzes UX practices for XR environments and reviews the techniques and tools for prototyping and designing XR user interactions. You'll approach the design for experiential state and spatial cognition, using established UX key performance indicators, while taking into account the social dynamics, emotional framework and wider industry context. UX design and strategy for the XR space is a new frontier, so UX for XR focuses on case studies and industry research to illustrate the relationship between UX design and the growth of immersive technologies. Practical examples will demonstrate how you should apply UX design principles using designing interactions in XR by identifying the importance of spaces, senses and storyboarding. What You'll Learn • Explore the challenges and opportunities of designing for XR • See how spatial interaction is revolutionizing human computer interaction • Examine sensory input and interaction beyond the screen • Work with 3D Interaction Design and build a strong 3D UX • Understand VR and augmented reality essentials for emotion-rich user experiences • Apply UX research techniques for the XR space Who This Book Is For This book is primarily for UX designers, consultants, and strategists, XR developers, and media professionals
