Project Choices

Video Juke Box
A video juke box has to be designed; we are interested in designing its interaction properties and its interface.
Telephone control system
Modern telephones have advanced functionality such as call-forwarding, conference calling, follow-me, etc. The task is to redesign the interface to make them more effective.
Personal Information Manager
Integrated diary systems, calendars, address books and to-do lists are commonplace on PCs and personal organisers, but they do not integrate well with larger networked systems. The task is to develop a user-friendly personal information manager.
Mobile telephone
Mobile phones are becoming commonplace, packed full of features. The task is to make them easier to use.
