Design Principles 7

 Useful
 Functional, does things
 Usable
 Easy to do things, does the right things, enjoyable, user experience
 Used
 Attractive, available, acceptable to organization
Research Trends and Opportunities 10

 Research trends
 WIMP (windows, icons, menus, point-and-click) devices
 Natural interfaces
 Brain interfaces
 New issues of HCI

Goals of Experiments / Evaluation 8

 Understand real world

 Compare things
 Engineering toward a target
 Check conformance to a standard
Research Methodologies 9

 Quantitative methods
 Time, error rate, user satisfaction, cognitive load (NASA TLX), learning
curve
 Qualitative methods
 Participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus groups
 Mixed methods
 Sequential
 Concurrent
The UX Value of HCI and Its Related 11

Realms
 The Evolution of User Experience (UX) Design

UX
HCI
Design
 HCI practitioners
 Academic-focused, scientific research, developing empirical
understandings of users
 UX Designers
 Industry-focused, products/services building, drawing resources from
HCI research
