Expressive Interface

Expressive Interface

“Expressive forms like emoticons, sounds, icons, and virtual agents have been used at the interface to (i) convey emotional states and/or (ii) elicit certain kinds of emotional responses in users, such as feeling at ease, comfort, and happiness.”(Preece, Yvonne, & Sharp, 2015)

Reflection on the Topic

1.      Expressive interface can be understood as using expression of human like smiling, angry, sad face, etc. and make them into designs that can communicate back with users when using products.
2.      “An expressive control interface system that enables users to author and control a 3D virtual avatar and its motion is needed. The present research is motivated by this need for an intelligent, dynamic, and user-intuitive gesture interface system with expressive control that uses gesture variation for continuous interaction” (Shashidhar Patil, Harinadha Reddy Chintalapalli, Dubeom Kim, & Youngho Chai, 2015)

Using emoji to make conversation over phone or text become more human-like.

My Thought

“something between being techno-like and human-like” (Preece et al., 2015)
“the aesthetics of an interface can have a positive effect on people's perception of the system's usability (e.g. Tractinsky, 1997). When the look and feel of an interface is pleasing and pleasurable” (Preece et al., 2015)

“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...

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 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, & Che...
