This will be an ergonomic study of web product interface
(sites), focused on high speed transmission. It assesses
the main barriers and difficulties experienced by the users
of this type of connection during their interaction with
proprietary files (plug- ins). The hypothesis of this study
is that excess of plug-ins (no self resources) in these
interfaces limits the access to broad band web pages,
frustrating users as regards the load and quality expected
from the audio and video archives. This research discusses
the main stylized facts and the research that has made the
present hypermedia possible. Furthermore, it presents a
brief history of the computer, CD-ROM, Internet, hypermedia
and hypertext. This theoretical reference aims at helping
to understand the facts that led to the origins of the
Broad Band or Speed Internet, and therefore presents the
main technologies used for the Broad Band connection.
The first part of this paper discusses the definitions of
hypertext, hypermedia and multimedia. Then it establishes
an analogy between such definitions and contextualization
and the Broad Band site grids and plug-ins found in the
archives of such web pages. The study points to two
structures which are typical of speed transmission
multimedia sites: - Hypermedia pages with hypertext
characteristics; - Multimedia hypermedia pages. The second
part of the paper discusses the methods, techniques and
procedures used in the research (questionnaires with Broad
Band Internet users, Focus Group and Cooperative
Evaluation) as well as the research outlines. The tests
performed aim at collecting data/opinions and knowing the
habits of the user population, and also observing the
interaction between the collaborators and real Broad Band
web sites in relevant tasks. Such tasks have made it
possible to visualize the main shortcomings of the users
towards the access and consumption of proprietary dynamic
files. Finally, the findings achieved through the results
analysis of research methods, techniques and procedures
lead to some multimedia sites project recommendations
focused on high speed transmission. These consider using
plugins, sites customization and presenting the contents
from the users point of view, targeting the reduction of
any constraints or barriers they may experience during
their interaction with interfaces and systems.
