Study Notes
UX Design Process and Conceptualizing Interaction
- Distinction between creating new designs and redesigning existing ones while identifying problems to be solved.
- Need to gather evidence of user problems and understand decision-making behaviors and mentalities.
- User-centric focus: Users are not designers and might not know what is possible; they express what they want but not necessarily what they need.
- Exploring design space involves generating alternatives and assessing how designs address user problems through observable benefits and realistic assumptions.
User-Centered Iterative Design
- Emphasizes early focus on users and their tasks, evaluating how they perform these tasks in existing products.
- Importance of learnability and memorability: Can users figure out product use through exploration? Are there tools to aid remembrance?
- Definition of satisfaction through user experiences and metrics, analyzing satisfaction rates over time.
Accessibility and Inclusiveness
- Designing for accessibility targets specific user groups, helping them overcome barriers with assistive technology.
- Examples include technologies aiding navigation in virtual reality and environments utilizing sensor-based technologies.
Interface Metaphors and Conceptual Knowledge
- Interface metaphors design must differentiate between types, drawing on broader conceptual knowledge.
- Paradigms establish shared approaches among research communities, influencing research questions and methods of analysis.
- Visions that frame interaction design often draw inspiration from science fiction, highlighting potential future technologies.
Data Gathering Techniques
- Structured interviews utilize closed questions for clear data, while semi-structured interviews allow flexibility with both closed and open-ended questions.
- Focus groups foster diverse viewpoints but can suffer from unequal participation and groupthink.
- Questionnaires can reach large populations but require careful design to ensure clarity and structure without overwhelming participants.
- Importance of clear instructions and pilot testing for effective questionnaire outcomes.
