Study Notes
Design Space and Decision-Making
- Every design involves numerous decisions, each creating a dimension in a multi-dimensional space.
- Visual representation of more than two dimensions is challenging; parallel coordinates are a common solution for visualizing high-dimensional data.
- By employing parallel coordinates, a wide array of design alternatives can be represented beyond the limitations of two dimensions.
Parallel Coordinates Visualization
- Parallel coordinates visualize multidimensional data by arranging dimensions (decisions) as vertical axes.
- Values of each dimension are spaced equally along the axes.
- A single data point is depicted as a line connecting its respective values across dimensions, allowing clear analysis of complex relationships.
Application in Classroom Design
- Considerations in classroom design include wall width, classroom offset, orientation, roof angle, daylight factor, and view quality.
Questions, Options, Criteria (QOC) Framework
- QOC is a structured method to represent the design decision-making process and rationale.
- "Questions" identify key issues or choices in the design process.
- "Options" refer to possible answers or solutions to the identified questions.
- "Criteria" provide justification for supporting or opposing particular options.
Design Documentation and Rationale
- Utilizing design rationale involves assessing options against criteria to make informed decisions.
- Design examples include evaluating options for representing an alarm (flashing light, bell, text, PA system) based on criteria such as visual attention requirements and perceivability in noisy environments.
- Each option is analyzed for positive or negative links to criteria, aiding in determining the best choice.
Assessment of Options
- An example evaluation shows various design options linked to different criteria, informing on their respective strengths and disadvantages.
- Visualization of options, such as through clustered bars or pie charts, can illustrate the performance of various design choices against evaluated criteria.
Incorporating Feedback in Design
- The assessment process allows for iterative improvement by exploring further criteria or alternative options, ensuring robust decision-making in the design workflow.
HCI Considerations
- The rationale for design choices in HCI emphasizes usability factors, ensuring that the chosen solution is accessible and effectively communicates the intended message under various conditions.
