PRESENTER: Arno van Vulpen 

TITLE: Stereotypical modelling and adaptation of the museum visitor
experience

VENUE: University of Melbourne, IDEA LAB, level 4, 111 Barry Street,
Carlton

DATE and TIME: Friday 28th February  2008, 3-4 pm

ABSTRACT:
Little research exists on the interrelation of task modelling and user
modelling. This research project explores the possibilities of using
user stereotypes in the creation of task models. Observations were made
at the Melbourne Museum to analyse visitors' behaviours. Based on those
observations and existing museum visitor classifications, task models
were developed for three identifiable stereotypes. To validate these
'stereotypical task models', an experiment was conducted with an
interview as a main component.
