Dizmo is a new type of open interface platform, which allows the most varied „Digital Dizmos“ which are generated by the user in a simple way on a surface to use, to combine, to create new functions. That very flexible user interface is a very important evolutionary step in interface development.
Multi-link screens are systems that are networked with different displays and devices. These may be made of displays, touch screens, camera projections on tabletops with gesture control, tablets, PCs and mobiles. Users can switch between devices to share the "dizmoSpace" or to edit documents independently. Collaboration often results in media breaks (such as a flipchart presentation, whiteboard notes, maps, a notepad, and subsequent transfer to digital documents via photo / scan). These impair and complicate the work. Dizmo strives to bridge such media breaks and paves the way to the paperless office.
What requirements can be placed to create better team collaboration, as well as workflows and the digital exchange to optimize it? 3 students conducted an user research, inculding expert interviews, behavioral observation and recording, scenarios, usability testing, feedback rounds, requirement gatherings to found out which requirements could a apply the right strategy.
