UK Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council grant funding collaboration
between the OME group and the Interaction Design Lab and
School of Computing
at the University of
Dundee. The project will develop a new vision
for the OME user experience. Funded for three years from June
2006, it will undertake an extensive multi-site detailed study
of microscopy work practices, develop and iterate a series of
OME interface prototypes, and specify a new user interface for
the OME toolset. With a team of 4 investigators, 2 research
