Abstract

Computer and related technologies offer the unique possibility of exploiting animation and interaction. A computer interface language which consisted entirely of icons would have many advantages as it would avoid the need for foreign language translation, assist those with language and learning difficulties and help in the teaching of new systems. Explores the design of such an iconic system looking first at the communication process
