Abstract
At the union of the humanities and technology, computer interfaces are often studied technically and from a psychological point of view, but more rarely do such studies include a broader perspective connecting cultural theories and cognitive processes to the transformation of user interfaces as the screen real estate changes. This paper introduces a research framework for such research that the authors have developed for repeatable, broadly scoped experiments aimed at the identification of the relationship between screen-centered cultures and user interface semantics. A first experiment based on this framework is then illustrated. Although the experiment described has not come to an end yet, the aim of this paper is to propose the framework as a collaborative tool for researchers in the humanities, social sciences, sciences and engineering that allows an integrated approach identifying interdisciplinary contributions and discipline transitions, with the clearly positive gains that such an approach affords.
