Media center: UOC’s case
Characteristics:
• Text losses its prominence in favor of image (either static and dynamic).
• Audiovisual contents can be the backbone for delivering information and the “natural” device to consume it could be used: the television.
Students use a remote control to interact with the contents instead of use a mouse
Remote control

Media center: UOC’s case
To develop a Media Center entails changing dynamics and habits used for designing web pages
A new scenario has come out
To use a remote control for navigating entails:
• To simplify navigation (horizontal – vertical)
• To assume that not the 100% of the screen will be an interactive point
• To simplify content hierarchical organization
