The mission was to create a prototype of a menu system for the companySystem Andersson AB. The instructions were that it has to be as interesting andmodern now as in 20 years. We had to look at technology from the cutting edgeof development to make our prototype survive in the future. WindowsPresentation Foundation (WPF) was the technique we focused on. There areonly a few applications that take advantage of WPF today, but it is predictedthat WPF will be the next generation method for developing applications to theWindows platform.To make our menu visually appealing, easy to use and at the same timefunctional, we followed the clear path and guidelines that are available ininteraction design. Those guidelines tell us how the design process should beexecuted. Through usage of the six basic ideas of interaction design and takenthe principles of richer user experience further, we were able to build a menusystem that will be as modern in 20 years as it is now. We took the thoughts ofphysical design into account to make the menu understandable and easy to use.
