Massively multiplayer operas : interactive systems for collaborative musical narrative
… thesis is to create a platform, designed for interactive multiplayer operas, that explores the potential for technology-enabled systems to facilitate creativity through expression, the emotional affordances of musical storytelling, and the spatiotemporal boundaries of copresence. A variety of …

Adaptive, adaptable, and mixed-initiative in interactive systems: An empirical investigation. An empirical investigation to examine the usability issues of using adaptive, adaptable and mixed-iniative approaches in interactive systems.
This thesis investigates the use of static, adaptive, adaptable and mixed-initiative approaches to the personalisation of content and graphical user interfaces (GUIs). This empirical study consisted of three experimental phases. The first examined the use of static, adaptive, adaptable and …

Formal modelling and analysis of safety-critical Interactive systems using Coloured Petri Nets
To gain confidence in safety-critical interactive systems, formal modelling and analysis plays a vital role. Generally, existing techniques focus either on modelling the user interface or on modelling the functionality of a system. Although there are many benefits to using the individual models for …

Perceptual Thresholds in Informative Audio: The Effects of Sound Variation in Interactive Systems
… modifications affect recognition and meaning in interactive systems. Using a custom-built game, participants learned three real-world sounds and identified them under pitch shifting, flanger effects, and time stretching. A second task let participants indicate with a slider when they felt a …

An Environmental User Interface (EUI) Framework to Convey Environmental Contexts In Interactive Systems Design
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates 488 million people worldwide suffer from a visual impairment and of these about 327 million have severe visual impairments. Some individuals with severe visual impairments can navigate and orient independently in well-known surroundings, but even for …

Supporting Collaborative Design through Risk Analysis: Benefits of Calculated Risk in the Design of Interactive Systems
As software systems continue to grow, and as project teams become larger and more distributed, support for project management in collaborative environments is critical. Management tasks include maintaining team coordination, monitoring progress, and, of particular interest for this work, managing …

Designing Ummeli a case for mediated design, a participatory approach to designing interactive systems for semi-literate users
This dissertation documents a journey into the design of Ummeli with a community of semi‐literate job seekers in Khayelitsha, Cape Town whose primary access to the internet was through their mobile phones. Working closely with this community over many months, we developed Ummeli, a suite of tools …

Hacking into the emotion-creativity link Two new approaches to interactive systems that influence the relationship between emotion and creativity
… higher creative task performance. How to design interactive systems that can effectively make use of this potential is, however, still an unanswered question. To explore possible answers to this question we have developed two novel approaches to interactive systems that can be used to effectively …

Supporting interactive system testing with interaction sequences
… research into the modelling and testing of interactive systems, existing strategies do not adequately cover all parts of an interactive system. These existing strategies model and test either the functional or interactive components of an interactive system separately, however, issues may …

An Activity Theory Evaluation of a User Interface for a Web-based Virtual Research Environment (VRE)
… the design and evaluation of some collaborative systems such as a modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment. Activity Theory offers many advantages to interface design for interactive systems when compared with the traditional cognitive psychology approach. This is because the …

Computer animation via optical video disc
… animation may be combined with other media in interactive systems. Such systems inherently offer a greater degree of flexibility to the animator. The implementation of one such system is discussed in detail.

Conversation analysis in interactive computer system design
… for, and the aims of, this study. The design of interactive computer systems is an enterprise quite distinct from the design of other artefacts: design, or inventing a pattern, for interactive computer systems is a matter of design for use.HCI research has recognised the need for a user-centred …

Supporting the development of electrophysiologically interactive computer systems
New interactive computing applications are continually being developed in a bid to support peopleís changing work and recreational activities. As research focuses on one particular class of interactive systems, high level models of interaction are formulated and requirements emerge that reflect …
