Augmented Reality Interface

Augmented Reality Interface


Augmented reality is “where virtual representations are superimposed on physical devices and objects and mixed reality, where views of the real world are combined with views of a virtual environment”. (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015)It is the interface where things are made visualized in front of our eyes, even the impossible things that we cannot set out real eyes on, and made them visible using images and graphic presentations.

Reflection on the Topic

1.      Augmented reality interface is one kind of interface that use graphic images and make them visible. It is helpful with medical field like X-rays or CT scan. It also makes things imagination become more realistic, like Google Glass or simple TV at home. ((Preece et al., 2015). Through that visual, people feel like the really in the scenario and can make decisions or interactions with things around. Pokemon Go is an example.
2.      “inserts virtual objects and information into the real world, augmenting the user’s experience of it via a smart device that, ideally, is as unobtrusive as possible.”(Higgins, 2017)

3.

My Thought



“New interfaces that extend beyond the individual user: supporting small- and large-scale social interactions for people on the move, at home, and at work.” (Preece et al., 2015)
“train as you work, work as you train”(Higgins, 2017)

“Controlled settings involving users” Evaluation Method

“Controlled settings involving users” Evaluation Method “Controlled settings involving users (examples are laboratories and living labs): users’ activities are controlled in order to test hypotheses and measure or observe certain behaviors. The main methods are usability testing and experiments.” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015) Reflection on the Topic 1.       This type of testing is mainly for research about a topic, which usually have expectations going with it. Users are not free to do whatever they want, but instead being controlled to perform specific tasks. This is usually used for technology testing (Preece et al., 2015) . Data collected will be used to interpret and make update about products. 2.       “working group attempted to answer some baseline questions: What can and cannot be customized in the new interface? How, and according to what timeline, should we introduce the new interface to our library patrons? What methods could be used to assess the new in

Natural Interface

Natural Interface Natural User Interface “is one that enables people to interact with a computer in the same ways they interact with the physical world, through using their voice, hands, and bodies. Instead of using a keyboard and a mouse (as is the case with GUIs), a natural user interface allows users to speak to machines, stroke their surfaces, gesture at them in the air, dance on mats that detect feet movements, smile at them to get a reaction, and so on” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015, p.188) Reflection on the Topic 1.       Natural interface is the way of people can control and interact with computers or virtual products using their normal gestures. The systems are built to sense the actions, like jumping, waving, etc. and make actions according to actions as programmed. 2.       “Natural User Interface (NUI), a more natural way for people to interact with technology. NUI refers to both sensory inputs such as touch, speech and gesture but goes much further to

Prototypes

Prototypes Prototype is “one manifestation of a design that allows stakeholders to interact with it and to explore its suitability”, useful when discussing or evaluating ideas with stakeholders; they are a communication device among team members, and an effective way for designers to explore design ideas” (Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015) Reflection on the Topic 1.       Prototypes are design or tested version made before actual products, so the designers can have basic ideas that their thought and reality come together work or not and make changes, updates based on the tested version before making actual products. 2.       “Prototypes are important tools in the development and production of new products. In the engineering design literature, prototypes are mainly perceived as tools for validating and verifying aspects of a design in the late stages of the design process” (Elverum & Welo, 2016) (Dai, Zhu, & Chen, 2016)   My Thought “prototypes contri
