To make sense of the world, we’re always trying to place things in
context, whether our environment is physical, cultural, or something
else altogether. Now that we live among digital, always-networked
products, apps, and places, context is more complicated than
ever—starting with "where" and "who" we are.

This practical, insightful book provides a powerful toolset to help
information architects, UX professionals, and web and app designers
understand and solve the many challenges of contextual ambiguity in
the products and services they create. You’ll discover not only how to
design for a given context, but also how design participates in making
context.

* Learn how people perceive context when touching and navigating
digital environments
* See how labels, relationships, and rules work as building blocks for context
* Find out how to make better sense of cross-channel, multi-device
products or services
* Discover how language creates infrastructure in organizations,
software, and the Internet of Things
* Learn models for figuring out the contextual angles of any user experience
