Overview

This book provides a 'how-to' guide for learning Ecological Interface Design. It takes Ecological Interface Design from a fairly complex process and breaks the process down into smaller chunks, providing guidance and tips along the way. The first half of the book focuses on the basics of learning to do EID while the second half focuses on case studies and explores more complex applications of the approach. The first half has three main chapters, the first on Work Domain Analysis, the second on developing visual forms including a visual thesaurus, and the third on using the Work Domain Analysis to develop a design. Each case study is a rich exploration of multiple examples within a particular domain. The case studies show the analysis and the design for the examples, and then discuss the particular challenges of the domain and how they were handled in the various examples. The domains covered are Transportation Systems, Process Control Systems, Medical Systems, Telecommunication Systems, and Social Systems. Finally the book concludes with a discussion of how EID fits in with other methods currently complementary aspects of EID and other methods.
