Machines Inherently Constructed by Taking the User into Account

Posted: June 19th, 2006 | 2 Comments »

Thoughts from my doctoral school course on interactive multimedia systems:

On my work on spatial uncertainty, I should think beyond design strategies for the interface (the interface being only a filter). My work could be more original if I consider how to design systems that inherently take the user into account. The location system may not only express its confidence but act on upon it depending on the user’s expecations. Moreover, a location algorithm or location update protocol could be built on a user representation and fed by dynamic user contextual values.

    Yep, the best interface is always the one that “understands” the user..

    My claim is that the core of systems (not only the interface) should be designed according to the user.
