Scope: This part of GB/T 20527 gives design principles for multimedia user interfaces and provides a framework for dealing with different considerations related to its design. It targets the user interface of applications that enable the merging, integration and synchronization of disparate media. Media includes expressive media (eg, text, graphics, images) and dynamic media (eg, audio, animation, video, or media related to other sensory modalities). Detailed design issues within a single medium (eg: graphic design of an animation sequence) are addressed only when they have ergonomic consequences for the user. This section gives the requirements and recommendations for the ergonomic design of multimedia application software that is mainly used for professional and occupational activities (eg work or study). It is not specific to applications outside of these areas, such as entertainment, although some of the advice also applies to them. This section applies to software aspects related to multimedia user interfaces, but does not deal with hardware or implementation issues. The ergonomic requirements and recommendations described in this section can be implemented by different technologies (eg transmission systems, scripting languages, applications). This part focuses on the presentation of multimedia. Multimodal input using different media (for example: entering information by combining clicks by voice) is not considered in the proposed recommendations.
