This edited volume illustrates ways for grasping and utilising that connection to improve interaction, user experiences, and customer value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUseful for designers, undergraduates and researchers alike, this new research provide tools for understanding and applying make-believe in various contexts, ranging from digital tools to physical services. It takes the reader through a world of imagination and intuition applied into efficient practice, with topics including the connection of human-computer interaction (HCI) to make-believe and backstories, the presence of imagination in gamification, gameworlds, virtual worlds and service design, and the believability of make-believe based designs in various contexts. Furthermore, it discusses the challenges inherent in applying make-believe as a basis for interaction design, as well as the enactive mechanism behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether used as a university textbook or simply used for design inspiration, \u003ci\u003eDigital Make-Believe\u003c\/i\u003e provides new and efficient insight into approaching interaction in the way in which actual users of devices, software and services can innately utilise it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45091236479127,"sku":"9783319295510","price":5707.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319295510.webp?v=1767143191","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/digital-make-believe-9783319295510","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
