Adams, R. 38 slides3 Egocentric design for UA  The Ego of the designer ⇛ designed by me for me designed by me for other “geeks” designed for many “geeks” designed for users designed for consumers designed for all

Adams, R. 38 slides4 Egocentric design for UA  The Ego of the user ⇛ designed for the stereotype designed for the profitable designed market share designed for inclusion designed for the inclusive Information Society

Adams, R. 38 slides5 Egocentric design for UA  The Ego of the system ⇛ designed by a programmer designed by a systems engineer designed by a usability expert designed for accessibility expert designed for customisation designed for adaptation designed for adaptivity

8 The Challenge of Diversity Egocentric design for UA

Adams, R. 38 slides9 Egocentric design for UA Egocentric design; the capability of interactive system designers and users to design and develop new systems or variants of existing systems that focus on meeting their requirements better.

Adams, R. 38 slides10 Egocentric design for UA This is a dynamically growing area of intense activity, driven by;  user pressure,  European policy on e-inclusion and  the commercial need for increased market share.

Adams, R. 38 slides11 Egocentric design for UA To understand the concept of "egocentric design" better, a number of supporting concepts are presented

Adams, R. 38 slides12 Egocentric design for UA 1. assistive technology, 2. ubiquitous design, 3. pervasive computing, 4. the information appliance, 5. universal access,

Adams, R. 38 slides13 Egocentric design for UA 6. Universal usability 7. design for all, 8. adaptable and adaptive technology, 9. ambient intelligence and 10. the invisible computer.

Adams, R. 38 slides14 Egocentric design for UA An attempt is made to pull these vital concepts together in order to consider the future of computing science in the emerging Information Society."

Adams, R. 38 slides18 Egocentric design for UA  a systematic approach  simple user modelling  cognitive user models

Adams, R. 38 slides19 Egocentric design for UA  a systematic approach  simple user modelling  cognitive user models

Adams, R. 38 slides20 Egocentric design for UA  simplistic cognitive models  Maltese cross  Simplex

Adams, R. 38 slides21 Egocentric design for UA  a list of cognitive factors is not enough  cognitive architecture needed  specify how functions work together
