Abstract

This paper shows the proceedings and results of an user centered design process that has been applied in order to analyze how processes of management in disaster control can be optimized while using new interaction techniques like multitouch, tangible and pen-based interaction. The study took part in cooperation with the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief. Its statutory tasks include the provision of technical assistance at home and humanitarian aid abroad. Major focus of this work is the IT-support for coordination and management tasks. As result we introduce our prototype application, the software- and hardware requirements towards it as well as the interaction design that was influenced by the outcome of the user centered design process.
