| In a preceding thesis low-resolution low-fidelity and low-resolution high-fidelity paper- prototypes of a user interface concept for catastrophe-management were evaluated. The findings propose future iterations and evaluation of the concept ahead of an actual implementation. The concept is explicitly built for the Curve interface, allowing multi-touch interaction in a surface seamlessly combining vertical and horizontal work-space. The interface development aims for an efficient and yet unobtrusive interface addressing the find- ing that the design of the control room of examined coordination center follows an approach to promote the stress-resistance of the controllers. A future implementation of such a system only seems realistic if the demands made by the environments and the users can be met. Therefore an iterative user-centered design process is followed developing a graphical user inter- face (GUI) for an operation-control-system and the system is evaluated by experts users. As this is one of the first user-centered approaches to develop a two-dimensional graphical user- interface of a larger dimension with multi-touch-interaction on a vertically curved display - ac- cording to the authorâs knowledge - challenges faced on the way are also observed and docu- mented so that future approaches might avoid or surpass them. Additionally technical consider- ations of challenges of a later implementation are outlined. In conjuction with |
