Do you know about WIMP? The Natural or Organic Interface? Zooming Interface? And what the heck is the Intelligent UI? Where are all these interfaces coming from. What about the Gesture, Haptics, Pen based and touch and even multi touch interfaces? In this session learn from the Author of Digital Design Essentials: 100 ways to Design better Desktop, Web and Mobile Interfaces, the intriguing story of the Digital Interface. How the digital Interface started from Command line to WIMP Interface to GUI and now became the most debated topic in the design industry, Skeumorphic Design or Modern UI. See how, with the revolution of devices digital interface took turn to Natural, Touch and Organic User Interfaces. See how User Interface has evolved in last twenty years. See how the current trends in touch screens, text to speech and AI are molding the mere fabric of the User Interface and how the user adoption still is the key to a successful User Interface Design. http://theinnovationenterprise.com/summits/digital-design-sanfran-2013/event_activities/5129

1. Visual - how does it look like - easy to look at - color, fonts, readability, size, icons, logo, 2. Cognitive - how user perceives it - easy to understand metaphors, Skeuomorphic design (How to use it and how to interact with it). 3. Accessible - how user access its information, features and functionality and how it responds to user requests - - easy to use and interact with How to use it and how to interact with it Accessible - ease of use, easy layout, composition of the interface, one idea in one screen, limit number of items in the menu, Interactive - responsive, feedback, interactivity Lets take a simple example of a clock. Clock application will give the following Information, current time Functionality, you can set time, alarm �And the User Interface decides. How it looks to the user How it’s functionality is understood. How to use and interact with it.

Presentation Notes
Douglas Engelbart changed the way computers worked, from specialized machinery that only a trained scientist could use, to a user-friendly tool that almost anyone can use. He invented or contributed to several interactive, user-friendly devices: thecomputer mouse, windows, computer video teleconferencing,hypermedia, groupware, email, the Internet and more. In 1964, the first prototype computer mouse was made to use with a graphical user interface (GUI), 'windows'. Engelbart received a patent for the wooden shell with two metal wheels (computer mouse U.S. Patent # 3,541,541) in 1970, describing it in the patent application as an "X-Y position indicator for a display system." "It was nicknamed the mouse because the tail came out the end,"

Presentation Notes
The very first graphical user interface was developed by the Xerox Corporation at their Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in the 1970s, but it was not until the 1980s when GUIs became widespread and popular. By that time the CPU power and monitors necessary for an effective GUI became cheap enough to use in home computers. Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computers, visited PARC in 1979 (after buying Xerox stock) and was impressed by the "Alto", the first computer ever with a graphical user interface. Several PARC engineers were later hired by Apple and worked on the Apple Lisa and Macintosh. The Apple research team contributed much in the way of originality in their first GUI computers, and work had already begun on the Lisa before Jobs visited PARC.

This is Not the End
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. - Winston Churchill
