Paper Abstract:
|
Successful intercultural communication depends on the personal ability to mutually understand the web of belief of the others using empathic capabilities. Assuming the perspective of the users of different cultures to grasp their needs by the HCI designer, can lead to good intercultural user interfaces of high usability. Hence, raising cultural awareness is a key factor for the successful design of intercultural human computer interaction (HCI). In this paper, problems in HCI design caused by cultural differences and a ways to solve some of these problems thereby are reflected on to raise the awareness of the necessity to take into account culture in HCI design. Tutorials are an excellent means for this. |
