UNESCO, Digital Library, Interactive Design, and Communicability

Abstract

We present a new category of interactive design called “eidomix”. Besides, the early results of a heuristic evaluation of communicability with the purpose of highlighting the main elements of a website related to the diffusion of cultural heritage such as “World Digital Library” (www.wdl.org), from UNESCO. Finally, a first guidelines is presented for the generation of interactive contents aimed at the future era of expansion of communicability called “quantic-nanotechnological-self-sufficient.”
