Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tully, G., & Turner, S. (2006, June). Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies. Presented at Second International Conference, TIDSE 2004, Darmstadt, Germany

We describe a study which explores alternative means of communicating decision points in an interactive movie. The two variants used novel, non-disruptive cues embedded in the movie itself: a fade to black and white and a zoom effect accompanied by s...

Using ERMIA for the Evaluation of a Theorem Prover Interface (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jackson, M., Benyon, D., & Lowe, H. Using ERMIA for the Evaluation of a Theorem Prover Interface

ERMIA (Entity-Relationship Modelling of Information Artefacts) provides an extension to entity-relationship
modelling techniques to provide a structural representation of the interaction between people and “information
artefacts”. Such a representa... Read More about Using ERMIA for the Evaluation of a Theorem Prover Interface.

Winky Dink and you: determining patterns of narrative for interactive television. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, I., Stewart, F., & Turner, P. (2004, March). Winky Dink and you: determining patterns of narrative for interactive television. Presented at 2nd European Conference on Interactive Television: Enhancing the Experience, Brighton, UK

We report on the identification, creation and use of narrative patterns to create an interactive cartoon. We have undertaken an analysis of an American 1950-60’s interactive television cartoon - Winky Dink and You, which gave the illusion of interact...

Who am I and where am I? - switching and stitching in the digital age. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smyth, M., Raijmakers, B., & Munro, A. (2004, May). Who am I and where am I? - switching and stitching in the digital age. Presented at INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE - DESIGN 2004, Dubrovnik, Croatia

This paper will introduce the concept of human identity. It will focus on how the creation, maintenance and communication of identity could be supported by technology. Initially a series of human groups are described which have the potential to infor... Read More about Who am I and where am I? - switching and stitching in the digital age..

The impact of cultural aspects on the design process (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Felgen, L., Grieb, J., Lindemann, U., Pulm, U., Chakrabati, A., & Vijaykumar, G. (2004, May). The impact of cultural aspects on the design process. Presented at DESIGN 2004, the 8th International Design Conference, Dubrovnick, Croatia

Due to increasing globalisation, the development of products is no longer restricted to one place, it is more and more characterised by distributed design teams, who work in different places, time zones or cultures. In order to support intercultural... Read More about The impact of cultural aspects on the design process.
