A rapid prototyping approach to user interface design may be enhanced by integration with a theory of the users’ tasks. The paper discusses various approaches to modelling user tasks including task knowledge structures (TKS) which provides a theory of the structure of task knowledge, together with a method for the identification and modelling of this knowledge. Formal specification languages ma...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Flexible Augmented Prototyping System
In designing physical objects, tangible models play an important part. Recent advances in augmented reality displays show new directions to support this field of prototyping. This paper focuses on the combination of rapid prototyping of physical objects and luminous tangible interfaces: digital imagery is projected on physical models. This yields a number of issues, including the design of the ...
