CALL FOR URLS : EXEMPLARS OF WEB-BASED INTERACTIVITY
The British HCI Group is exploring the feasibility of adding to its a
web site a showcase of exemplars of web-based interactivity.
While often used very loosely, the term 'interactivity' is beginning to
have real meaning in relation to web development, as technologies such
as Java/Javascript and proprietary plugins such as Shockwave Flash offer
web designers new ways to engage the user with web-based content.
However, for all the potential that these new technologies offer our
experience suggests that many uses of interactive features are poorly
linked to design goals and context.
In light of this, DJ Associates is working in association with the
British HCI Group, and the Yorkshire & Humberside 'Media-Tech' action
plan for the multimedia sector, to gather together examples of Web sites
that demonstrate effective use of engaging interactive applications or
applets.
If you are involved yourself in examples of web-based interactivity; if
you have a list of your own favourites; or if you just came across an
interesting example yesterday, please get in touch with details of
relevant URLs.
Sites can use any available web technologies and can be designed for
audiences in any sector. Links to the best examples will be mounted on
the web as gallery of 'best practice' intended for web
designers/developers who are interested in learning more about how to
engage users in real interaction.
If you have any URLs that you would like to put forward, please send
them to:
