Designing Interactive Systems 2000

Successful industrial design gracefully unites esthetics and function at minimum cost. However, designers face special problems when they apply their skills to interactive computer systems.

This paper presents research on participatory design of interactive systems for emergency response. We present the work by going through the design method with a focus on the new elements that we developed for the participatory design toolkit, in…

Raskin (best known as the creator of the Apple Macintosh project) describes flaws in current machine-human interface structures and offers advice on how to fix them. Proceeding from basic facts about how human consciousness interacts with the…

In this paper, we describe "Experience Prototyping" as a form of prototyping that enables design team members, users and clients to gain first-hand appreciation of existing or future conditions through active engagement with prototypes. We use…

User-centred design (UCD) is a well-accepted and useful design methodology for designing interactive systems. In recent years, developing world researchers have attempted to utilise UCD but with mixed results. The results from two developing world,…

In the field of education, Augmented Reality and other Interactive media have been successfully used at demonstrating concepts or course sub-topics. These demonstrations have to be held as separate sessions of classroom teaching or as supplementary…

Interactivity acts a role of activator which can transform the traditional classroom into an active media environment that not only facilitates the students to receive information but also helps the educators to teach in an effective way. However…

We describe findings from ethnographic fieldwork and a participatory design workshop conducted with members of urban agriculture communities. The aim of this work is to critically understand community members' agricultural practices as well as uses…

The user interface design aims at enabling work and other activities to be performed more effectively, efficiently and with more enjoyment and satisfaction. The user interface of multiuser Web applications is a medium where all objects being shared…
