Nowadays, exhibition experience is no longer defined by physical visits. Increasing a person’s knowledge about a subject tends to increase their interest in it, thus improve attendance and support for the exhibition. This research analyses and conduct comparison studies regarding website elements featured in 30 science museums around the world. Consequently, this produces an overview of one eff...

Designing universally accessible user interfaces means designing for diversity in end-users and contexts of use, and implies making alternative design decisions, at various levels of the interaction design, inherently leading to diversity in the final design outcomes. Towards this end, a design method leading to the construction of a single interface design instance is inappropriate, as it cann...

We present a new system for music composition using structured sequences. FrameWorks has been developed on the basis of Task Analysis research studying composition processes and other user-centred design techniques. While the program only uses MIDI information, it can be seen as a ‘proof of concept’ for ideas generally applicable to the specification and manipulation of other music control data...

A qualitative explorative evaluation considered the effects of six visualization interfaces of sales forecasting systems on 60 university students. The study builds on earlier research from the domain of business forecasting in supply chain industries. The evaluation generates exemplar interfaces derived from the theoretical framework and task analysis of interviews with 20 expert users and des...

Recently, the role of task analysis in design has been brought into question. It has been argued, for example, that task analysis leads to the non-creative redesign of existing artefacts. In this paper. we offer a view of task analysis that resolves this problem. In particular, we argue that by focusing upon the analysis of user/operator goals rather than an existing task implementation, task a...
