Context: Navimation is a PhD project that is part of the wider RECORD project.
Goal: develop a framework for understanding visual movement intertwined with navigation in screen based interfaces.
Central research questions: How can we investigate the emerging phenomenon of visual motion that is intertwined with the activity of navigation in screen-based interfaces?
Analytical frames: Social Semiotics, Activity Theory, Critical Discourse Analysis.
Methods: Literature survey, design experimentation (with business partners in the RECORD project), online ethnography.
Deliverables: PhD thesis (metatext, 2 conference papers, 2 journal articles).
Duration: 1 July 2007 - 30 June 2010.
Funding: Research Council of Norway (NFR, BIP programme).
