Mending Fractured Spaces: External Legibility and Seamlessness in Interface Design

Zigelbaum, J. "Mending Fractured Spaces: External Legibility and Seamlessness in Interface Design"

Abstract

This thesis presents External Legibility: a property of user interfaces that affects the ability of non-participating observers to understand the context of a user's actions. Claims of its value are supported with arguments from the social sciences and human-computer interaction literature; research in designing tangible user interfaces; and an experiment comparing the external legibility of four interaction techniques.
