Jörn Hurtienne - Inclusive Design with Tacit Knowledge: The Image Schema Approach
18 November 2009, posted by sdw32 (Seminars)This talk will give you some insight in the problems of designing inclusive user interfaces for people with a wide range of cognitive abilities and prior experience. I will present image schema theory as an approach that taps prior experience at the sensorimotor level. Image schema theory can complement more traditional approaches to inclusive design, provide a number of guidelines (or populationstereotypes) for mapping physical user interface elements to abstract contents, and can provide a method of designing more intuitive and more inclusive product interaction. I will present previous studies showing the viability of of the approach in user interface design as well as my ongoing research in the area of inclusive design at the EDC. Time: 16:30 - 17:30, 18th Nov 2009 (Wed) Venue: Arthur Marshall meeting room Speaker: Dr Jörn Hurtienne - Cambridge Engineering Design Centre
