Software ergonomics for multimedia user interfaces - Part 3: Media selection and combination (ISO 14915-3:2002)

ISO 14915-3:2002 gives recommendations for, and guidance on, the design, selection and combination of interactive user interfaces that integrate and synchronize different media. It addresses user interfaces for applications that incorporate, integrate and synchronize different media. This includes static media such as text, graphics, images; and dynamic media such as audio, animation, video or media related to other sensory modalities. Detailed design issues within a single medium (e.g. the graphical design of an animation sequence) are only addressed as far as they imply ergonomic consequences for the user.

Software-Ergonomie für Multimedia-Benutzerschnittstellen - Teil 3: Auswahl und Kombination von Medien (ISO 14915-3:2002)

Dieser Teil der ISO 14915 gibt Empfehlungen und Hinweise für die Gestaltung, Auswahl und Kombination von interaktiven Benutzungsschnittstellen, die verschiedene Medien einbeziehen und synchronisieren. Er behandelt Benutzungsschnittstellen für Anwendungen, die verschiedene Medien enthalten, integrieren und synchronisieren. Dies umfasst statische Medien, wie Text, Grafiken, Bilder, und dynamische Medien, wie Audio, Animation, Video oder Medien, die mit anderen sensorischen Modalitäten zu tun haben. Detaillierte Gestaltungsfragen innerhalb eines Mediums (z. B. die grafische Gestaltung einer Animationsfolge) werden nur angesprochen, soweit sich daraus ergonomische Folgen für den Benutzer ergeben können.
Dieser Teil der ISO 14915 gilt für
   Darstellungstechniken für rechnergestützte Multimedia-Anwendungen im Allgemeinen, einschließlich eigenständiger und netzwerkunterstützter Anwendungen, wenn das Hauptziel darin besteht, die Arbeitsaufgabe des Benutzers zu unterstützen oder Informationen bereitzustellen,
   die Gestaltung der Software Benutzungsschnittstelle und
   Multimedia-Anwendungen für Ausbildung und Unterricht, soweit die Empfehlungen zur effektiven Bereitstellung von Informationen beitragen.
Dieser Teil der ISO 14915 behandelt keine pädagogischen Gestaltungsfragen für Lernanwendungen und befasst sich nicht mit hardwarebezogenen Fragen wie Eingabe- und Ausgabegeräten. Die Empfehlungen in diesem Teil gelten nicht speziell für Anwendungen, deren Hauptzweck in der Unterhaltung, wie z. B. bei Spielen, besteht. Der Schwerpunkt dieses Teils konzentriert sich auf Multimedia-Darstellungsfragen; multimodale Eingabearten, die mehrere Medien verwenden, wie Sprache in Kombination mit einem Zeigegerät zur Informationseingabe, werden in den angegebenen Empfehlungen nicht behandelt.

Ergonomie des logiciels pour les interfaces utilisateur multimédias - Partie 3: Sélection et combinaison des médias (ISO 14915-3:2002

L'ISO 14915-3:2002 fournit des recommandations et sert de guide pour la conception, la sélection et la combinaison d'interfaces utilisateur qui intègrent et synchronisent différents médias. Elle traite des interfaces utilisateur pour des applications qui incorporent, intègrent et synchronisent différents médias. Ceci inclut les médias statiques tels que texte, graphique, image, et les médias dynamiques tels que son, animation, vidéo ou des médias liés à d'autres modalités sensorielles. Les sujets de conception détaillés pour un médium unique (par exemple la conception graphique d'une séquence d'animation) ne sont traités que dans la mesure où ils impliquent des conséquences ergonomiques pour l'utilisateur.
