Beschreibung
How would you improve the iPhone or create a web site for blind
users? How do you find the best solution and how do you know that it is
indeed the best solution? Unlike computers and programs, humans are hard
to model. The design of interactive systems is thus different from
other areas in computer science in that one has to borrow from Design
and the empirical sciences. The class consists of two parts that run in
parallel: lecture and project
A. Lecture: Every week I will teach one of the basic techniques in usability
- Design: brainstorming, sketching, presentation, design critique, paper prototyping, refinement
- Engineering: rapid prototyping, implementierung in QML, C++, Qt
- Evaluation: user-centered
design, design patterns, discount usability evaluation, heuristic
evaluation, interviews, quantitative user studies.
B. Project: In
parallel to the lecture the students will apply what they have learned
in a group project. Each week represents a different phase of the
project development cycle. You will form teams of 3-4 students, generate
ideas, sketch, gather input from actual users, implement 2-3 ideas a
paper prototypes, and finally execute the best idea in actual code in
C++ under Qt. You will present your prototypes to each other in design
critiques and you will iterate and refine based on the feedback you
receive. In week 5, two team members per team give the first
presentation to the class; at the end, the other two team members
present the final outcome including a simple demo. The lecture is taught
in English.
