Understanding Interaction Styles in Human-Computer Interface Design

In this week's exploration of Human-Computer Interface Design, we delve into fundamental interaction styles including Command Line, Menu Selection, Form Fill, and Direct Manipulation. Each style has its advantages and limitations; for instance, Command Lines allow powerful system access but may be cryptic and challenging for users. Menu Selection eases decision-making by providing options, while Form Fill focuses on capturing user information efficiently. Direct Manipulation promotes user engagement through intuitive physical interactions. Understanding these styles is crucial for creating user-friendly interfaces.

  3. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Command Line

  4. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Command Line • Powerful – access to system functionality • Flexible – options and parameters • Limitations • Commands must be remembered • Commands are obscure and cryptic • Better for experts to use • Error rates are high

  5. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Menu Selection • A set of options from which the user must choose • Offer cues for user recognition • Breaks the complex into small steps

  6. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Menu Selection

  7. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Form Fill • Capture user information • Easy movement around the form • Provide for error correction • Indicate required fields • Provide explanatory messages for fields

  8. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Form Fill

  9. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Direct Manipulation • Allows direct interaction with the UI • Visible and continuous representation of task objects • Requires physical actions to manipulate • Operations are rapid, incremental, reversible • Users “feel” directly involved • Easy to learn • Click here to go to the class web page • Get rid of your files by dropping them into the trash!

  10. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Anthropomorphic • For example - gestures, facial expressions, or eye movements

  11. Week 5 – Design • Interaction Style ~ • Blending Interaction Styles • Choosing the Most Appropriate Interaction Style
