Multiple Metaphor Environments: Issues for effective interaction design
نویسندگان
چکیده
This position paper presents the notion of multiple metaphor environment and discusses principles and techniques for constructing user interfaces as multiple metaphor environments. Though, multiple metaphor environments represent a generic concept, they are particularly relevant to novel application domains and technologies, such as Digital Libraries.

Multiple metaphor environments: designing for diversity.
This paper advances a proposition for the engineering of interactive computer-based environments capable of exhibiting alternative interactive embodiments to cope with diversity in users, interaction platforms and usage contexts. Such systems are referred to as Multiple Metaphor Environments (MME). The theoretical underpinnings of an MME rely on a conception of HCI design as mapping functions i...
متن کاملDeskTOP, a System based on Virtual Spaces to Support and to Promote Collaborative Learning
provides a coordination mechanism to help to maintain an interaction order among the participants and to make it more efficient. The collaborative virtual environments have become a good alternative to construct collaborative learning systems. In this paper we present DeskTOP, a collaborative virtual environment implemented on the Web to support and to promote collaborative learning in universi...
متن کاملSpringboard: Exploring Embodied Metaphor in the Deisgn of Sound Feedback for Physical Responsive Environments
In this paper we propose a role for suing embodied metaphor in the design of sound feedback for interactive physical environments. We describe the application of a balance metaphor in the design of the interaction model for a prototype interactive environment called Springboard. We focus specifically on the auditory feedback, and conclude with a discussion of design choices and future research ...
متن کاملBuilding Conversations Using Mailtrays
Current project support environments provide little direct support for group working. This paper postulates an architecture for future project support environments and describes an interaction metaphor appropriate for such an environment. Techniques for exploiting this metaphor in order to provide support for cooperative working are described. Finally a means of describing cooperation patterns ...
متن کاملTangible Interaction Design, Space, and Place
INTRODUCTION Books and lectures on Interaction Design often focus on screen-based, desktop-style systems. Yet with the proliferation of computing and its embedding into a multitude of everyday objects or the environment itself, augmented by new conceptual approaches to humancomputer interaction such as mobile, pervasive and ambient computing, this is a limited view. With computing merged into o...
