LEE, SANTANA, STANTON, YU Defined as: A system composed of multiple - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
LEE, SANTANA, STANTON, YU Defined as: A system composed of multiple audiovisual devices (i.e. DVD player, game console) connected to a single central display (a TV) Peripheral devices are not designed to work with other or be aware of
SLIDE 2
SLIDE 3
Peripheral devices are not designed to work
with other or be aware of other devices in the system
Multiple components must be adjusted to do
a single task
- Users must recall correct settings for multiple tasks
Complicated remotes = confusing
Multiple remotes for each device = more confusing
SLIDE 4
10 foot interface displayed on a TV,
controlled by simple point-and–click remote
Assumes technology:
- System is aware of what peripheral devices are
connected to the system
Activity Based Menu System
- Think “I want to watch a movie”
- NOT “I need to configure my dvd player” (to watch a
movie)
SLIDE 5
Individuals think differently Multiple paths to the same result No action without some noticeable result
SLIDE 6
Buttons not redundant Fewest number of buttons possible One to one mapping
SLIDE 7
Where do you go for activity-specific
settings?
- Preserve remote simplicity
Magic button
- “I want to do something that is not explicitly labeled
- n this remote”
SLIDE 8
Multiple paths to trigger Fitts’ Law Streamline transitions
SLIDE 9
Full breadth on top level In depth access only for movie playing Not completely fleshed out, just enough to
get the point across
