• "Creating an Interface Please respond to the
  following
•  
•   Imagine you are managing a design

  automobile mechanics. The interface would be used
  by the mechanics to look up various fixes and
  parts for any number of makes or models of
  automobiles that may come through their garage.
  Decide what usability measures would be most

• Case Study 1 User Interfaces
•  
• Due Week 2 and worth 90 points
•  
• Early user interfaces were designed with little
  or no consideration for the end user. This was
  largely due to technical and hardware
  limitations. The poor interface design required a
  specific skill set for users and limited the mass
  appeal of computers. Modern interfaces are much
  more user friendly. Theo Mandel wrote about the
  five (5) golden rules of interface design. Read

  the team starts to discuss design guidelines.
  About half of the team complains that guidelines
  can be too specific, incomplete, hard to apply,
  and sometimes wrong. The other half feels that
  building on experience from design leaders
  contributes to steady improvements. Take a stance
  on this debate and support your position. Then
  discuss how you would solve this conflict to get
  your meeting back on track.

  tells you that he wants it to work with voice
  commands just like Siri. When you pass this
  information on to your team, the news is met with
  groans and angry expressions. One of your
  developers tells you that it would be way too
  complicated to add voice recognition into the app
  and that you should have said no. Suggest three

• A large, fast-food chain unveiled a new touch
  screen register for its franchises. Each cashier
  was assigned a user id and password combination
  to log in to the register. The system allowed the
  incorrect password to be entered four (4) times
  before the register would lock and require a
  manager to unlock it with a key card. To prevent
  unauthorized access, the registers would lock
  after three (3) minutes if the screen was not
  touched. When the register locked, only the
  cashier who was logged in prior to it locking
  could unlock it without a system restart.

•  
• Assignment 3 Direct Manipulation
•  
• Early computer systems relied on command line
  interfaces to perform all actions. Today, the
  majority of systems use direct manipulation
  rather than a command line interface. The goal of
  designing a direct manipulation interface is to
  make use of the system intuitive to the end user.
  One industry that has been extremely successful
  designing intuitive direct manipulation inputs is
  the video game industry. Most game players are
  able to learn controls as they play a game and
  then apply the same controls to similar games.
  Rarely do they need to read a user manual.

•  
• Due Week 9 and worth 80 points
•  
• The quality of the user experience is very
  important to the success of an application. In
  the early days of computing, users often
  experienced long delays since computing power was
  poor and networks had comparatively slow
  throughput. Modern systems have largely
  eliminated these delays due to increased network
  and computing power, yet users still report a
  high level of frustration.
