Visual Interactive Codes

The Visual Interactive Code (VIC) is a dynamic multimedia format that reconnects regulations with reality; it is innovative in several respects:

• regulations can be extensively illustrated with colorful graphics, pictures and video-clips, which makes the information easier to grasp and helps ground the policy in a specific place;

• VIC's hyper-links provide instant connections between related information, thereby allowing the user to gain a broader understanding of the interrelated issues and influences;

• the full-text search and keyword index features allow easy access to any query, which makes the information less confusing because it is easier to find;

customized content and dynamic table-of-contents provide a hierarchical list that continuously tracks your location, which reduces user intimidation and disoriention.
