My research is about human-computer interaction (HCI). Within HCI, I have mainly been doing research on information visualization, including evaluations of fisheye, overview+detail, and zoomable user interfaces. Another area of interest is usability research, where I have been interested in understanding and defining usability, and investigating usability evaluation methods. See my publications for further information. Current research foci include:
- Metaphors of Human Thinking, a usability evaluation technique focusing on human thinking
- The interplay between software design and usability evaluation (in the USE and MAUSE projects)
- Information visualization with fisheye interfaces
- Subjunctive Interfaces, that is interfaces that help users work simultaneously with multiple alternatives
I participate in the following research projects:
- MAUSE, a European COST project that works towards the maturation of of usability evaluation.
- USE, a Danish project that aims to improve industrial uptake of usability evaluation.
- Cultural Usability, a international collaboration that studies how culture affects usability evaluation
