Using Multiple Display Environments for Affinity Diagramming
نویسندگان
چکیده
Affinity diagramming is a commonly used contextual design practice in the development of interactive systems. Currently many tools exist that attempt to support the process of designing. However, experts and novices alike eschew tool use, instead preferring traditional paper and whiteboard methods. In this paper, we explore the potential of using Multiple Display Environments (MDEs) for the process of creating, sharing, and reusing affinity diagrams. We believe that by considering the fundamental activities involved in affinity diagramming and designing to support these activities, MDEs could be an effective technology for this domain.

AffinityTable - A Hybrid Surface for Supporting Affinity Diagramming
Using affinity diagramming as an example, we investigate interaction techniques for supporting collaborative design activities. Based on an observational study, we identified design guidelines that need to be addressed to find a close fit to embodied practice. Using this knowledge, we designed and implemented AffinityTable, a hybrid surface for supporting affinity diagramming. The tool combines...
متن کاملStudying Group Decision Making in Affinity Diagramming
Affinity diagramming is a commonly used contextual design practice for which many tools have been developed. However, experts and novices alike eschew tool use, instead using traditional paper and whiteboard methods. This paper presents observations of traditional affinity diagramming sessions, focusing on three areas of consideration—shared awareness, cognitive offloading, and understanding, o...
متن کاملCollaborating on Affinity Diagrams Using Large Displays
Gathering and understanding user requirements is an essential part of design. Techniques like affinity diagramming are useful for gathering and understanding user data but have shortcomings such as the difficulty to preserve the diagram after its creation, problems during the process such as searching for notes, and loss of shared awareness. We propose an early prototype that solves problems in...

Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library.

متن کاملMultiple brown tumors in a patient with parathyroid adenoma depicting affinity for both 99mTc -pertechnetate and 99mTc-MIBI: Evaluation with hybrid SPECT/CT
Parathyroid adenoma involving a single parathyroid gland is the underlying cause of 80-85% of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Skeletal system is significantly affected by PHPT. Brown tumors are known to have affinity for 99mTc-MIBI. We report a rare case of PHPT presenting with diffuse bony pain, high calcium level and significantly elevated alkaline phosphatase level. 99m<...
