Former Research and Development Projects
Contract research and participation in European and national research programs such as ICT Framework Programme, TAP, ESPRIT, RACE and PROMETHEUS is an important field for developing leading-edge technology and solutions. We have developed effective and efficient methods for user simulation, and analytical and empirical validation of interactive, digital systems. We are early pioneers for promoting "quality of use" in RTD projects and industry. We have developed the VNET approach for user oriented product creation which we apply for our solutions. Recently we have developed innovative online research tools for user research and methods for the measurement of information quality.
