Dear all, My name is Abhishek and I'm pursuing research study in the domain of Text-Free interfaces for users with low exposure to technology. I am focusing on Interfaces where users get information both through visuals and audio. Interactive Voice Response Systems (IVRS) stayed with us in the initial stages of this study but I think in the last one year or so, we have moved a little ahead of IVRS. What we are current focusing on is a matrix of content, architecture and user experience. We believe that as applications have an underlying architecture which in turn is a network of different nodes, resides at these nodes is the content (or the information). And especially in case of interfaces which will include audio as one of the possible output modalities to the users along with visuals, it is this choice of prioritizing between *showing memory hints of architectural nodes vs. those of information at these nodes* which decides the User Experience of these applications. I am not sure if I have made things clear. I am happy to have any discussions here. Second, I am also looking for references and experts with a focus on information, application architecture and user experience.
