Title

ISO 14915: A standard on multimedia user interface design

Abstract
Multimedia user interfaces have been gaining a rapidly growing importance on the market. In its early days multimedia was mainly technology-driven without paying special attention to the ergonomic design aspects of the respective user interface. On the other hand current ergonomic standards for graphical user interfaces fail to support the dynamics of multimedia nor do they cover the special presentation and interaction techniques offered by multimedia. For these reasons ISO is at present elaborating a standard that gives recommendations on design and usage of different media. The standard will consider the effects from combining various types of media and the extended interaction possibilities provided by the individual media. The recommendations will guide designers and developers of multimedia user interfaces to choose appropriate media for certain environments and different purposes. Evaluators may use the standard to assess the usability of multimedia applications. ISO 14915 will comprise four parts: Multimedia Design Principles, Multimedia Control and Navigation, Selection of Media and Media Combination, and Domain-Specific Multimedia Aspects. The structure and intended content of Parts 1-3 will be presented in the following chapters.
