Cultural Considerations
نویسنده
چکیده
The globalisation of information and communication technologies has raised the awareness to cultural differences within the HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) community, and specifically to how these differences and cultural attributes affect user interaction. Research in this area has focused on general cultural studies and cross-cultural psychology, as well as empirical work. The following report offers a literature review, analysis and design guidelines suggested as part of an academic group project aimed at developing an accessible information device to be used by visitors attending the London Olympic games in 2012. This document addresses the cultural aspects of the project and describes how the ultimate design solution could be made accessible to a culturally diverse group of users.
