A Tool for Getting Cultural Differences in HCI
نویسنده
چکیده
The "Intercultural Interaction Analysis" tool (IIA tool) was developed to obtain data regarding cultural differences in HCI. The main objective of the IIA tool is to observe and analyze the interaction behavior of users from different cultures with a computer system to determine different interaction patterns according to their cultural background. Culture influences the interaction of the user with the computer because of the movement of the user in a cultural surrounding (Röse, 2002). To locate and find out the kind of different interaction behavior of the users from different cultural groups (at national level (country) between Chinese and German user first because of the high cultural distance) the interaction behavior of the users with the computer will be observed and detected. The objective is to be able to draw inferences regarding differences of the cultural imprint of users by analyzing the interaction behavior of those users with a computer system to get knowledge that is relevant for intercultural user interface design and a necessary precondition for cultural adaptive systems (Heimgärtner, 2006). E.g. the right number and arrangement of information units is very important for an application whose display is very small and at the same time the mental workload of the user has to be as low as possible (e.g. driver navigation systems).

متن کاملEmbedding complementarity in HCI methods and techniques - designing for the "cultural other"
Differences in cultural contexts constitute differences in cognition, and research has shown that different cultures may use different cognitive tools for perception and reasoning. The cultural embeddings are significant in relation to HCI, because the cultural context is also embedded in the techniques and the tools that we apply. We lack a framework for discussing what and who we are, when we...
