Fitness for Purpose in Multimedia Applications

Resumo

Many multimedia systems fail because they are insufficiently sensitive to the purposes of users and their context of work. Four cases are examined in which early applications encountered user problems. A user-centred process for the design of multimedia systems is recommended to ensure the needs and characteristics of the user community are understood at each stage of development.

Palavras-chave:

Multimedia, fitness for purpose, ergonomics, user-centred design
