CS 5/7312 (Fall 2024): Homework #3
Part 1: Discussion Questions
-
Discuss the similarities and differences between
early DM systems
(such as a GUI with 2d icons and actions carried out using mice
and/or other selection devices)
and an immersive VR system
(if you don't know one,
try to learn about one of your choice by reading/learning about it).
Pay attention to how the DM principles apply to these systems/UIs.
-
We have discussed contents organization (C.O.) in Menus and Forms.
Discuss C.O. in DM, and compare it to that in Menus and Forms.
Part 2: UI Design and Evaluation
You may choose to work with the system you selected for hw#1 or hw#2 before,
or pick a different system.
Now perform the following for this system:
-
If your system contains DM element,
map the UI/design decision to the DM principles;
if not,
redesign it into an UI based on DM
by following the DM principles.
-
Can AR be added to your system/UI?
If so, how?
If not, why not?
-
Pick your evaluation techniques to evaluate its usability.
Try to give as much details as you can
(e.g., a detailed usability testing or expert review plan,
together with an observation/data form of your design/choice.)
