Abstract

Cross cultural influences on usability should be investigated together with human cognition and perception, and the context of use. In practice, to reveal culture similarities is more important than differences. An axiomatic method for cross cultural usability analysis was proposed for tackling these issues. It was argued that usability problems related to human cognition and perception can be identified through the Independence Axiom, whereas the best design can be recognized through the Information Axiom with the domain-specific knowledge.
