Developing a persona-based user-centred design model in relation to idea generation that will both manage the product design processes and solve design problems
User-Centred Design (UCD) was proposed in the 1980s and, since then, its philosophy has helped to solve design problems, regardless of the advances in technology over time. The standard ISO 9241:210 (2010), formerly ISO 13407, provides guidance in human-centred design principles and activities …

An Environmental User Interface (EUI) Framework to Convey Environmental Contexts In Interactive Systems Design
… effective when used with user-centered design (UCD) to design a wayfinding system to capture environmental requirements, thus aiding those with severe visual impairments. Two studies, the first of which consisted of a requirements elicitation and the second usability testing, were conducted. The …
