    Study Notes

    HCI Principles

    • Accessibility: Ensuring the system is accessible to users with various abilities and disabilities.
    • Consistency: Emphasizes consistency in system design to facilitate user familiarity and efficiency.
    • Error Prevention: Focuses on preventing errors within the system design to minimize user frustrations.

    HCI Guidelines and Principles

    • Feedback: Primary focus is on providing users with clear and timely feedback about their actions and the system's response.
    • User-Centered Design: Provides specific recommendations for designing user-centered interfaces that meet user needs and goals.
    • Natural Mappings: Advocates for natural mappings between controls and actions to make interfaces predictable and understandable.

    HCI Design Frameworks and Models

    • Nielsen's Heuristics: Main purpose is to evaluate and improve the usability of systems by providing a set of principles for designing intuitive and user-friendly interfaces.
    • Shneiderman's Eight Golden Rules: Primary emphasis is on designing interfaces that are easy to learn, efficient, and forgiving.
    • GOMS: Aims to achieve modeling of user tasks and goals to design systems that support efficient and effective user interactions.

    Contributions to HCI Design

    • Collectively, Nielsen's Heuristics, Norman's Principles of Interaction, Shneiderman's Eight Golden Rules, and GOMS contribute to HCI design by providing guidelines, principles, and models for designing user-centered, accessible, and usable interfaces.
