While interpretation has always been a key issue in HCI, it has not always been foregrounded as such. In part, this may be because, as disparate as the areas of HCI that handle interpretational issues are, they often share a unified underlying stance on interpretation that circumscribes both the problem of interpretation and its presumed solution. While different areas disagree on whose interpretation (e.g., the users ™ or the designers ™) should be privileged, there is general agreement that there should be a single, correct way to interpret a computer system (e.g. how it works or the emotion it should exhibit or engender), and that the goal of the system ™s designer should be to convey that interpretation accurately to its users. Interpretation is then understood to be causing a problem when users and designers disagree about the meaning to assign to a system ™s operations, functions, or
