Graspable Work Task Modeling
| Description
|
Models of human work are well recognized means for
representing multiple elements of an organization in a
mutually tuned form. However, humans and systems tend
to use different forms of representation when
expressing their knowledge. Most of the widespread
modelling approaches focus on a system designer’s
or software view rather than on intuitive and
comprehensive (re)presentations of mental models of
users.
Graspable interfaces that support the modelling process in an intuitive way could help to reduce the cognitive load when leveraging individual mental models of work processes. In a collaborative setting the immediate and concurrent manipulation of model elements fosters the reflection and discussion of both modelling a work domain and corresponding processes. In this way, it facilitates the development of common views on work tasks and knowledge sharing. To get an impression of the first working prototype, you can watch the video or view some photos in the gallery. |
