Designing Natural User Interfaces Scenarios for All and for Some: An Analysis Informed by Organizational Semiotics Artifacts

Abstract

Part 2: Organisational Semiotics and ApplicationsInternational audienceThe design of Natural User Interface (NUI) technologies is still in its early stages; therefore, it does not have well-established guidelines, especially ones that consider the context of Accessibility. This increases the challenges for designers of these technologies to achieve products fulfilling their purpose. . In this paper we present a research project that aims at exploring NUI devices within the Accessibility context, with the goal of proposing ways to promote a better design for NUI technologies. We present this project from an Organizational Semiotics perspective, so that the context we aim to focus on shows itself clearly during the entire design process. Our ultimate goal is to promote better NUI designs, especially for people with disabilities, supporting their autonomy and inclusion in society

Socially Aware Design of Games: an early workshop for game designers

“…In the Table 1, we can see that our paper is destined to the early stages of a design process. Also, we can see that our paper have the same methodological base of de Souza et al (2018de Souza et al ( , 2019 and Maike et al (2015Maike et al ( , 2018 papers but with different work motivations, therefore, suggesting possibilities for extensions and future works.…”

“…In the development process that begins after our approach, the recommendations by Ushaw et al (2015) can be considered as premises for the design and implementation of a game project as they represent generic characteristics to be considered in a therapeutic context game. Maike et al (2015) presents an investigation with the artifacts of Organizational Semiotics (Stakeholder Identification Diagram, Evaluation Frame and Semiotic Framework) to develop Natural User Interfaces (NUI) solutions that facilitate daily actions for users with disabilities, in the perspective of Universal Design. The relationship is that our approach also uses artifacts from Organizational Semiotics to understand a problem and the Semiotic Framework to explore solution ideas.…”

“…The relationship is that our approach also uses artifacts from Organizational Semiotics to understand a problem and the Semiotic Framework to explore solution ideas. However, the approach of Maike et al (2015) is focused on Natural User Interaction devices and the possibilities they offer to obtain an accessible solution from a universal or assistive perspective. Although Maike et al (2015) does not deal with games or therapeutic aspects, their work can be useful to support further stages of game design after our workshop.…”

Maike et al (2018) present a literature analysis and a case study for proposing a design strategy from the perspective of the concepts of difference and perception.…”

Studies in Organisational Semiotics: A Systematic Literature Review

“…Authors of other papers have mentioned the adoption of OS theories. However, these authors did not explicitly specify the employed artifacts [5,6,10,11,13,14,17,20,23,38,39,51,[56][57][58].…”
