This problem has its origin in the phenomenon that the meaning an object holds can vary across individuals. The Semiotics Research Domain studies the meaning objects hold. This research investigated a solution based on the user designing aspects of the environment at a time after it has been made operational and when the development team is no longer available to implement the user’s design requirements.enGestalt principlesGrouping by proximityPerceptionPersonally meaningfulProgrammingProgramming languageSemiotic theorySignsTangible programTangible user interfaceReportSmith, A.
