Donald A. Norman for a visit in Bremen

Donald A. Norman, the HCI and usability guru, visited the Cognitive Systems Group at the University of Bremen the last friday. After some initial cake and coffee, Christian Freksa introduced Don to the audience in the Rotunde and drew a connection from his interest to the work of the CoSy Group.

 

All had the opportunity to engage with him in a two hour session about Spatial Computing and Spatial Design and questions associated with it. He was very interested and commented on, for example, the debate on the necessity of mental representations for navigation.
