Author: Dorothy Rachovides
Ph.D
Dorothy's research interests are within the area of Human Computer interaction and usability and evaluation. Her PhD work is in Multimodal interaction, using gaze and two handed gestures. Her main research interest is designing usable interfaces, appropriate for the context and user. On the StoryBank project she worked as Interaction Designer where, using Ethnography and Community Centred Design, she has co-designed the interface of the camera phone application. She is interested in ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) and BGDD (Bridging the Global Digital Divide) research and particularly in the ethics attached to this area of research. Previously she worked on the Microsoft Research funded “On_mesaage@home” project at Brunel University. Other research interests include designing for families and children, multimodal interaction, developing prototyping techniques to test early design ideas “in-situ” especially in Developing countries.
