![]() ![]() A working demonstration of the interface is piloted with a group of Chinese users to assess its success in terms of interactivity, usability and cultural significance. A culturally specific ‘garden’ metaphor is developed and applied as an alternative to the current global ‘office’ or ‘desktop’ metaphor. A redesigned computer interface, incorporating a consistent and culturally rooted metaphor for a Chinese user target group is discussed. The potential for a more diverse culturecentred, design-based system-‘Culture-Centred Design’ (CCD) is introduced, and a CCD process developed. The design implications of globalisation are discussed, together with the related processes of internationalisation, localisation, ‘glocalisation’, iconisation and culturalisation, in order to establish a basis for a new approach to HCI design. ![]() This paper addresses culturally rooted factors within user interface design.
