Abstract
To improve an intercultural communication between foreigners and Chinese in mainland China, an app called INTER is designed help them to find common communication topics. Questions & Answers (Q&A) and information push are utilized in the app application. A User interface is designed and preliminary tested by 30 participants studied in mainland china, who come from different cultural environments. During the test, they are given one actual user interface, and asked to fill in a questionnaire, followed by an interview for user experience collection and their personal opinions about function designs with application flow chat. INTER is demonstrated as a digital intercultural communication tool which can be utilized as software in mobile phone for an interactive accessible communication. Interface design would be further improved in the future study.
