"THREADS" is an efficient and feasible virtual tool which in theory is easily accessible from everywhere, where users can surf the internet. Nowadays with laptops, netbooks and mobile phones this is possible wherever one goes. This leaves a lot of potential for such a workspace related Software as proposed in this thesis. The problem of finding something specific in a mass of data, even if it is located on ones own storage, is familiar to every Person, that uses a Computer System and especially if it is used together with other people. This thesis has to be seen as an approach to make it easier to find data and to have an overview of things, that are not so obvious on first sight. The author has decided to leave as much room to the user as possible to set own preference of search and consider different search behavior. People are very different, not only within different cultures or different age groups also within friends or farnily. This is why the future of the digital world needs to focus more on individuals and has to be more adaptable and dynamic. All aspects considered it can be concluded that this thesis has dynamically improved during the process of researching and developing a concept. This concept can be taken into further development and with the help of users, a successful final product can be developed that will help to strengthen the position of user experience work inside a scrum team.
Creativity is a crucial factor in finding novel and useful visualization and interaction techniques, but its emergence is contingent on the right conditions. The focus of visualization research has traditionally been on techniques, and to a lesser degree on the process of creating them with domain experts and end users. This paper focuses on the collaborative design of visualizations for information seeking and knowledge management. The difficult, yet common challenge in any visualization project is to find meaningful visual representations and useful interaction techniques to carry out complex analysis tasks. The unique difficulty for preparing co-design activities for visualization lies in the gap between the abstract nature of data and the concrete form of visual representations. To bridge this gap, our co-design framework for visualization places particular emphasis on actors, activities, and artifacts as categories that expand the focus of visualization design beyond the traditional triad of users, tasks, and data. Drawing from general co-design principles, the framework is developed and validated during the course of two case studies in the context of information management systems and library collection databases. Based on observed patterns during the case studies, practical tactics provide advice on carrying out co-design in information visualization.
