Multi-media and process control interfaces : signals or noise?
journal contribution
posted on 2008-05-29, 15:58 authored by James L. AltyMultimedia interfaces are examined and the nature of current input and output media identified. A
number of design objectives for multimedia interfaces are suggested – improving efficiency, learning and
providing a stimulating problem solving environment. The key problem of how to choose an appropriate
medium for a particular interface situation is analysed and the concept of a Signal to Noise ratio for measuring
media expressiveness is tentatively postulated. Some recent work in process control is then examined and the
results interpreted from the Signal-to-Noise ratio viewpoint. These are then related to the concept of media
expressiveness
