Katharina Bredies; Gesche Joost; Rosan ChowAbstract
Nowadays, the complexity of information communication technology has become a serious obstacle for many users. Personalization of user interfaces could become a useful instrument to increase usability for the individual. Technical and market research on content personalization have already been conducted during the last years. Although personalized content works quite well for customers, research in personalizing interfaces remains relatively new. The present paper describes an iterative design process on the development of an interface personalization prototype. We introduced a methodology to integrate user needs into the design process as well as in the resulting product, and recorded our experience with the applied methods. We also evaluated their appropriateness to the present research context. This project reflects the advantages of design methods in interdisciplinary teams and how they could serve as a means to communicate ideas between stakeholders.
