"Convergence Design showcases groundbreaking work from the international designers who are defining these new arenas. Covering categories that include interactive television, broadband computing, and wireless devices, this exciting book addresses the specific challenges of - and breakthrough ideas for - designing interfaces and content for each platform." "From brilliant navigation schemes to unique content concepts, from wireless games to interactive TV menus, this is the must-have guide to the best in interactive innovation from the world's leading new-media designers."--Jacket.
