I would like to take this opportunity to inform the VE and HCI communities
of the completion and availability of my Ph.D. thesis on 'Designing
virtual environments for usability'. The thesis involved the development
of user interface design guidelines for virtual environments (VEs), using
interaction modelling as a theoretical base. A prototype tool was
developed to present the guidelines to designers.
The thesis was completed June 1998 and chapters can be downloaded from:
http://web.soi.city.ac.uk/homes/dj524/kully.html
The thesis will also be shortly available from City University library and
the British library. Some of the work has been published and papers are
available at the above web address. The prototype tool, which presents a
subset of the guidelines, can also be viewed at this address.
Supervisors were Professor Alistair Sutcliffe and Dr Neil Maiden, at City
University, London. The funding body was The Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council.
