A Large, High Resolution Tiled Display for Medical Use: Experiences from Prototyping of a Radiology Scenario

摘要

The scope of the project was to assess the value of using high-resolution, very large displays in a hospital setting. We applied a scenario informed prototyping method and user-involvement in order to do this. Initial results suggest that the technology could prove very useful in clinical conferencing settings like the communicating process between the radiology department and the other hospital departments using their services. The possibility of bringing more visual information simultaneously to the audience is especially intriguing. However, issues such as floor control - who administers the (extra) information space and information-overload, are imminent in interface design and our prototype suggests that the clinicians do want functionality that stresses these issues.
