| OVERVIEW |
| ARTware is designed under the design principle called ART (Amplifying Representational Talkback), and developed in VisualWorks Smalltalk 2.5/3.0/5i.x and 7.x (and thereby runs both on Windows and on Mac OS) using the open-source Jun library. ARTware currently consists of the following four systems:
They all support early stages of information design tasks. These four systems are particularly for designing linear information, using spatial positioning of objects as an interaction method. More descriptions on each system. |
| INTERACTION DESIGN |
| ARTware is a product of interaction-design-centered software development, enabled by the close collaboration between an interaction designer and a programmer. Interaction design has been taken into account from the very first step of the system development. We particularly emphasize the importance of visual interaction. The first look at the screen shot should tell you everything you can do. The ARTware systems have been designed based on the ART (Amplifying Representational Talkback) design principle. The principle has been used to guide our overall design process. Based on Donald Schoen's design theory, we focused on the role and effects of representations that play during the user's thinking processes. ART emphasizes two points: a user should be able to externalize what the user wants with as little cognitive overload as possible, and a user should be able to perceive what has been externalized with as little cognitive overload as possible. |

| NOTES |
| The most updated information regarding the system: http://www.kid.rcast.u-tokyo.ac.jp/systems/ARTware/ Any inquiry regarding
the ARTware systems should be addressed to: ARTware is built based on the Jun library. The Jun library is an open-source 3D graphics multimedia library that supports both topology and geometry. The NSN library is built on top of Jun, adding interactions designed under the ART (Amplifying Representational Talkback) principle.
