Interaction Principles
Interaction Design delves into the relationship between humans and how they communicate with complex products. Buttons, scrollbars, and anything beyond static content falls under the umbrella of interaction design. This section provides the foundations of interaction design so that AV designers may successfully align interfaces to adjust for differences between human and computer behavior.
WHO WILL BE USING THE SPACE?
Meeting space requirements will vary depending on the primary participants’ roles, their required AV tools, and other factors. In facilities with conference rooms that host customer meetings, there might be a need for a higher level of décor and superior audio and video quality. Security considerations, including access levels to the internal network, need to be enforced for meetings between outside guests and internal staff. Capabilities such as annotation and ultra high definition displays might be necessary for some activities, such as engineering and content creation, but may not be required for other activities.
HOW WILL THE SPACE BE USED?
The function of the space will largely drive the form and configuration it takes. Making a better human connection should be a priority, as the ability to be heard and seen is necessary for unified communications. Targeting facial expressions and body language will increase this human connection and bring the hybrid space alive. To accommodate impromptu, ad hoc meetings, a seating area with an interactive whiteboard or flat panel display may be all that’s needed. Small, informal, focused discussions may require an enclosed area along with a way for meeting participants to share ideas using personal devices. For larger gatherings, a formal room equipped with a projector and integrated sound reinforcement may be necessary, so that all participants can be fully engaged. In each of these environments, the inclusion of unified communications video conferencing technology allows meeting participants to be located off site and still collaborate effectively.FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THE BEST SOLUTIONS
Swannjohn Graphics AV and GUI Design works with many leading technology providers to deliver industry-leading solutions. All of our collaborations, from certified control system drivers to complex embedded software integrations, are designed to provide a consistent and reliable experience. Our approach allows the system designer to focus on choosing the bestof-breed solutions, knowing that seamless system integration is part of the plan from day one.
DEPLOYMENT STRATEGIES
IT and AV are merging at an unprecedented rate. Taking advantage of existing network infrastructure opens new design opportunities. Today's options can include equipment located in a room or rack or a streaming solution that works over the network - or, perhaps, a combination of both. A centralized approach to AV, control, and audio provides even more f lexibility when placing key components in IT-centric environments. In some applications, this aids in troubleshooting, management, and space utilization.
