Study Notes
HCI Guidelines Overview
- HCI principles are broad, while guidelines provide specific instructions for human-computer interaction design.
- Guidelines assist designers but can conflict; prioritization is often necessary.
- Jennifer Tidwell compiled user interface design patterns as HCI guidelines.
Guideline Categories
- General HCI Design: Focuses on display layout, information structure, input/output visualization, and overall user experience.
- User Type: Considers demographics such as age, ability, occupation, and culture.
- Platform/System Setup: Includes mobile devices, large displays, and various operating systems.
- Vendor/Organization: Involves design identity linked with specific organizations (e.g., iOS, Windows).
- Interface Style/Modality: Covers different interaction modes like gestures and voice commands.
- Task/Operational Context: Considers where tasks are performed (e.g., office, outdoor) and their physical constraints.
- Applications: Pertains to the function of the interface (e.g., games, e-commerce).
Visual Display Layout
- Effective page layout organizes content and UI elements for clarity and appeal.
- Key guidelines include avoiding clutter, optimizing display density, consistent item placement, aligning items, and structuring for easy comparison.
Taking User Input
- Efficient input designs enhance performance in interactive systems, focusing on graphical user interfaces (GUIs).
- Guidelines for data entry include maintaining consistency, minimizing user actions, clear labeling, and naturally sequencing fields.
Accessibility for Users with Disabilities
- W3C's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 aims to make web content accessible to all, including those with disabilities.
- Guidelines include ensuring content is perceivable (text alternatives, adaptable formats), operable (keyboard navigation, time allowances), understandable (clear text and predictable pages), and robust (compatibility with assistive technologies).
Mobile Device Guidelines
- Usability in mobile applications focuses on fast status information, minimizing typing, simplified task focus, large hit targets for selection, and efficient screen space usage.
