Study Notes
HCI Design Process
- The HCI design process starts with requirements analysis, which involves understanding user needs, characteristics, usage context, and existing systems.
- User analysis reinforces the requirements analysis to focus on user experience and usability standards.
- Scenario and task modeling is crucial for interaction modeling. It involves understanding the application's task structure and sequence of program elements. Storyboarding, a visual representation of the interface, is used in this process.
- Interface selection and consolidation involves choosing hardware platforms, software interface components, interaction techniques, and hardware specifications.
- Hardware Platforms vary depending on the application's task requirements and environment.
- Desktop platforms are suitable for office tasks, time-consuming tasks, and multitasking.
- Smartphones/Handheld are suitable for simple, short tasks, and mobile use.
- Tablet/Pads are suitable for simple, mobile tasks that require a larger screen.
- Embedded platforms are suitable for special tasks and situations where interaction and calculations are needed on the spot.
- TV/Consoles are suitable for TV-centric tasks, limited interaction, and tasks requiring privacy.
- Kiosks/Installations are suitable for public and limited interaction, short series of selection tasks, and monitoring tasks.
- Virtual Reality platforms are suitable for spatial training, tele-experience, and immersive entertainment.
- Free Form platforms consist of customized configurations for special purposes.
- Software Interface Components are integrated parts of a system or application interface.
- Windows/Layers provide the working area of an application and are often used for multitasking.
- Icons, compact pictograms, represent specific applications and facilitate interaction. Earcons, distinctive sounds, serve the same purpose for users with visual impairments.
- Direct Interaction Through Pointer allows for direct manipulation of objects using a mouse or pointer. This approach includes techniques like dragging and dropping, copying and pasting, and rubber banding.
- GUI Components for User Input are essential for user interaction:
- Text Box is used for short to medium alphanumeric input.
- Toolbar provides quick access to frequently used icons or functions.
- Forms use a combination of menus, buttons, and text boxes for longer, interrelated input.
- Dialog Box uses a mixture of menus, buttons, and text boxes for short, mixed-mode input.
- Combo Box is a drop-down list box that allows users to choose from pre-defined options or type in their own.
- 3D Interface provides the perception of depth and offers a virtual reality experience.
Wire-framing
- Wire-framing is a design technique that focuses on the structural layout of a website or application service. It helps prioritize user needs and experience.
- Wireframes are used early in the development process to define the basic structure of a page before visual design and content are added. Wire-framing is considered a powerful tool as it allows for quick and easy iteration and approval before creating a prototype.
- Examples of wireframing tools include Fluid UI, Wireframe CC, Sketch, InVision Studio, and Adobe XD.
