COMPARISON OF UIs

HOME SCREEN

NOTIFICATION

MULTITOUCH

MULTI TASKING

BEST OF THE CLASSICS

Trial and Error

Works for small systems

Systematic approach

USABILITY

Some systems are easy to use

Others are a nightmare

For example The difference between old and new text processors

USER INTERFACE

The part of the system that you see

Human-computer interaction

The interaction takes place through the UI

User interfaces vs. technical interfaces

DESIGN OF UI

In principle, it is easy to make a UI

Many systems have adequate functionality, but they may not be easy to use

The interaction takes place through the UI

If we insist that the system shall also be easy to use, the design process becomes so hard

WHAT IS USABILITY ?

Programmers give different definitions

The essential

• The user’s experience• Can he find out how to use it?• Does it make his work easy?

Functionality and easy of use form usability

USABILITY FACTORS

Fit for use (or functionality)

Ease of learning

Task efficiency

Ease of remembering

Subjective satisfaction

Understandability

IMPORTANCE OF USABILITY

Who is responsible for usability?

It was the user’s department

This is slowly changing

Why is usability more important now than earlier?

WHY USABILITY IS HARD?

Classical approach

Task analysis

Early prototype

Usability test

PROTOTYPES OF UIs

Hand-drawn mock-up

Tool-drawn mock-up

Screen prototype

Function prototype

THE BEST PROTOTYPES

Usability testing (finding the usability problems)

Changing the design

Defining what to program

Discussing solutions with users
