Abstract

In this paper the Usage-Centered Design approach is suggested as structured process for Intercultural HCI Design. Usage-Centered Design is extended by cultural models to take into account the cultural aspects in HCI design. The extensions cover as well common cultural aspects as system specific cultural aspects of the system to be designed. This approach makes it possible to track and trace the culture specific requirements and design decisions for internationalized user interfaces.
