Study Notes
Interaction Models
- Translations occur between the user and system
- Ergonomics is a key aspect of interaction models, influencing physical characteristics of interaction
- Interaction styles vary, dependent on the nature of user/system dialog
Contextual Factors
- Social context plays a role in interaction
- Organizational factors influence interaction models
- Motivational factors affect the user's interaction with the system
Interaction Terms
- Domain: the specific area of work being studied, e.g. graphic design.
Key Concepts
- Goal: what you want to achieve, e.g. create a solid red triangle.
- Task: a specific activity or action to achieve a goal, e.g. select fill tool, click over triangle.
- Operations: the steps or actions taken to complete a task, e.g. using the fill tool to create a red triangle.
Important Note
- Variation in terminology: the use of terms like "task" and "goal" can differ significantly, especially in traditional interaction.
