Abstract

Current television series, especially those revolving around or dealing with information technology or technical issues in general, often depict interesting ideas for user interfaces or interaction techniques. Especially, user interfaces are often shown to be very intuitive and easy to use: Frequently protagonists use unknown interactive systems without prior training and are able to conduct complex operations with the system. This paper analyzes user interfaces and interaction techniques depicted in “CSI: Miami”, a widely known US TV show. Possibilities and potentials to inspire actual user interfaces are explored.
