Multimedia User Interface Design Principles for HTML-Documents
Abstract
This half-day tutorial gives an overview of the issues in desiging and constructing multimedia user interfaces (MUI) for World-Wide Web applications. The special emphasis is on user interface principles and how WWW-documents (based on HTML) can use and benfit from multimedia features. Based on an investigation of the as yet restricted features of HTML and successive document description languages, the aim is to discuss how to present a virtually seamless integration of multimedia within hypermedia WWW-documents. Within this context, the objectives ar to: * analyse the user's and author's requirements for hypermedia, * present the state-of-the-art of multimedia user interfaces. Furthermore * to investigate the emerging principles and inherent problems of WWW browsers and editors, an to offer solutions in the form of revised user interface principles and design guidelines.
