JMA 464/545 - Purpose
• Course about IxD & HCI
• Overview of IxD, HCI, UxD, and usability
• Review IxD, HCI, UxD methods and issues
JMA 464/545 – Course goals
• Develop understanding of IxD, human computer-interaction (HCI) and user-centered design & development.
• Develop understanding of UxD, user-experience design.
• Discuss development processes and tools.
JMA 464/545 – Course goals
• Explain methods for IxD research & development.
• Demonstrate general principles underlying effective interaction design and navigation control.
• Use equipment and software to observe interaction.
JMA 464/545 – Applications & Tools
For observations, we will use:
• Observer XT
• Arrington Research Eye-tracker
• TechSmith – Morae
• Human Factors Facility
Mapping example – digital interface• You’ve been asked to develop App that controls electrical
outlets in a home or building.
Could organize like this- Menu driven
Could organize spatially – direct relationship between outlet location and
interface
Poor designs?
• Which bottle ?- Insulin
Not sure what these mean? Cadillac car What do you think happens?

People often take the path of least resistance.
Try to figure out what the least resistant paths are before pouring concrete.

People often take the path of least resistance. In a similar way, Amazon makes it easy to buy additional items.
Task: Return movie (DVD) to Redbox
Why not a physical constraint instead of this? Return a DVD is activated when inserting DVD.
Labels???
If the switch is pointing to "Off", it's really "On", and vice versa.
Source: http://goodexperience.com/tib/b/product_design/
Labels???The arrows relate to direction or how to use switch, not the final state of the switch.
The words “ON/OFF” suggest the final state but they are positioned inversely to switch function.

Labels???
A simpler design is better.
The switch affords/suggests how to use it.
Additional labels may add confusing information.
How do we design for different devices?• By looking at examples in the physical world, we can
become informed about how to design for:
• Web• Mobile devices• Etc.
Design and use | Questions• How do people use different devices?• What can observing their use tell us about how we should
design and develop?• How do different devices influence behavior?
Design and use | Questions• How do we design for the initial User Experience (UX)?• How do we design for the entire User Experience (UX)?
Observe human-computer interactions
Example 1: Observer Example 2: Observer Example 3: Morae
Example 5: EyeTrackExample 4:Post Example 6: CNN - EyeTrack
Example 7: Student EyeTracks
Example 8: ViewPoint Analysis
