Evaluating User Interfaces: Critical Analysis and Design Proposals for Enhanced Interaction

This assignment involves two critical evaluations of computer interfaces. The first part requires a group analysis of a video interface (UMS/BT/BT302/New_Interface), discussing its positive and negative aspects when applied to personal computer usage based on relevant literature. The second part entails a heuristic evaluation of the Google Earth flight simulator interface, applying chosen heuristics to assess usability. Students will then design an enhanced interface prioritizing user functions and experiences. Total word count: 4000 words.

  1. Assignment 1 Issued: January 2008Form: Written paperWeighting: 35%Deadline: 21st February 2008 In a group consisting of 3 or 4 students critically evaluate the type of computer interface shown in the video from the Infoserver (“UMS/BT/BT302/New_Interface”). Individually discuss the positive and negative aspects of implementing such an interface to your personal computer using relevant literature and reference to support your discussion. You must illustrate your points with specific examples Length 1500 words Assignment 2 Issued: January 2008Form: Written PaperWeighting: 65%Deadline: 24th. April 2008 Carry out an heuristic evaluation on the flight simulator interface used on Google Earth based on the following: As a group, consisting of 3 or 4 students, select six to eight heuristics from the academic literature and use these heuristics to carry out individually an heuristic evaluation of the flight simulator available in Google Earth. Discuss and make legible notes and sketches of your findings from Task 1 above. The aim of this is to demonstrate how you carried out your evaluation. Identify which are the most essential and frequently used functions that would enable the user control the flight. As an individual, using both the academic literature and your experience gained in the above tasks 1 & 2. Design an alternative interface which would give the user better access to these functions to have an enjoyable experience. Discuss the design with illustrations (2 pages) using relevant references to support your proposed interface. Length – 2500 words
