The objective of the present study was to design and evaluate a user interface concept for a so-called Project Browser, using a user-centered design method. It can be expected that this also applies to other than meeting-related information which is available regarding the project. In other words, they want the information to be instrumental for carrying out the project. In particular, they are highly interested in decisions taken during the meetings and want to have an overview of their own action points. Evaluations with newly developed user interface concepts for meeting browsers have suggested that users prefer to access the information in a task-oriented manner. However, the user interface design of Ferret in its present form has not taken into account the user perspective yet, so it is not clear whether it suits the needs of the prospective user. Existing research prototypes of these innovative meeting browsers, such as Ferret provide synchronized access to, among other things, videos of participants, presentations held, loggings of who speaks when, transcripts of dialogues and minutes (Figure 1). This is made possible through the application of novel multi-media and automatic recognition and processing technologies that create digital, annotated recordings of meetings. A meeting browser is an application that supports users in finding elements of interest in (multi-media) digital recordings that have been captured during meetings. In order to provide better access to meeting information, previous work has been carried out on meeting browser concepts. In particular information on meetings is problematic, since minutes tend to be concise and consequently hard to understand, especially for people who did not attend the meeting. Due to this scattering of information it is difficult for project team members to know whether the information they have found is complete and up-to-date. Information regarding meetings is usually laid down in minutes. Unfortunately, this information is usually scattered over many different sources, such as messages (e-mails), documents and presentations. During both individual work and meetings, they need access to information regarding the project to be able to carry out their tasks in an accurate, efficient and satisfactory manner. who are collaborating in a project team typically spend their time working individually on their tasks and meeting at regular intervals to discuss the progress so far.
