Technology trends
Moore’s law Human-computer interaction was born out
of these two lines crossing. When computing time is expensive, people
supplicate themselves to the machine. When computing is cheap, we put machine
work for us.
Unaided human abilities
Processing

Example: Mobile interaction design
6
Culture context: to find the Holy Land for the Islam in Malaysia.
7
Mobile interaction design
Many Design Choices Think different from GUI/Web Specific vs. general usage Pen/speech modalities Integrate with other tasks Social apps
Always in your pocket

The process for design (simplified)
Observe Storyboard Prototype: paper, video, etc. User testing: questionnaires etc. Design reviews (Iteration)

Observe
To get design ideas, you can start out by doing fieldwork, for example, in Exercising Getting healthy food at the grocery
store Singing practice The science lab Tour guides, etc

Course Values Designs are for people. Quality is about fit to a task
not arbitrary, but it is contextual. People’s ability to use a design is the ultimate
test of its quality The best way to create good designs is:
Observe people and find an actual problem worth solving
Rapidly and iteratively create many prototypes Create multiple prototypes in parallel to explore
alternatives Seek feedback from peers and users
