The INPERIC project aims at developing future user interfaces, which are media rich, employ multidimensional information visualization techniques and support everyday users through intuitive metaphors, hedonistic quality, adaptation and scalability to a variety of system settings.
From our background in virtual environment research (Project CONTIGRA) and work in the field of information visualization and HCI (e.g. Collapsible Cylindrical Trees, TimeZoom) we conceive the vision of future user interfaces, which are semantic-based, media rich, employ three-dimensional information visualization techniques and support everyday users through intuitive metaphors, hedonistic quality, adaptation and scalability to a variety of system settings. The UI techniques developed within our research activities are applied to the areas of Personal Information Management (PIM, such as e-mail managers), Personal Media Management, and document managament in general.
