Design of a User Interface intended for Winemaking:
When designing a monitoring system for winemaking, the user interface plays an important role in creating an effective flow of information between the monitoring device and the user. This thesis explores how a user interface for winemakers can be designed to present data effectively while ensuring that the meaningful activities of the winemaking process are not lost. The objective is to identify which activities are considered meaningful among small to medium-sized winemakers and keep them in mind when designing a suitable user interface intended for the fermentation process. Hopefully, the interface will also improve and streamline activities performed during the fermentation process. The research is based on a case study in which a continuously measuring device serves as the platform for the interface. The main findings from this research indicate that an application, together with a small screen on the measuring device, would be an effective way of delivering data from the device to the winemaker. Meaningful activities such as tasting and smelling the wine should be preserved when implementing new monitoring techniques. The research is mostly conducted through user studies performed in Italy and Sweden.
