Research Spotlight
HCW Lab in Manchester City Art Gallery Video
The School’s Human Centred Web (HCW) Laboratory is currently working in conjunction with the Manchester City Art Gallery to investigate the ways in which people access visual information within art. The experiment builds on previous research into how internet users access information on web pages, and aims to inform the development of text-to-speech technology.
By looking for similarities and patterns in the way that sighted individuals focus on visual resources within works of art, the HCW Laboratory team hope to be able to more accurately predict a user’s path through visual resources such as web pages.
