Multitouch Lab Journal
Bachelor’s Thesis by Vitali Fischbein & Jürgen Röhm
My bachelor’s thesis (a co-production with Vitali Fischbein) deals with the conceptual and graphical design of an electronic laboratory notebook for biochemical research. The so called »Multitouch Lab Journal« (MLJ) application was designed to be used on a multi-touch tabletop in laboratories. The MLJ supports scientists in their daily work, e.g. it helps to better document experiments and improves communication within the research group. The interface and interaction design of the MLJ are both based on thorough user research and the user-centred design cycle.
