Human Impact of UI Design Paradigms

(PART 3 – Future UI Technology)Robert Ritchey and Ruben Campos

CS575 - Human Issues in Computing Spring 2006

Purpose/GoalAnalyse the impact that different GUI designs have on both users and software developers


Strategyshow the history of user interfacesdiscuss different types of User Interfaces

how they are differenthow they are usedhow they are implemented


Presentation ScheduleFirst session – Intro

HistoryModern User Interfaces

Second Session - demos/analysis of different types

Impacts on User Behaviour patternsImpacts on Software Design/Architecture

Third Session – Future UI Technologies and their potential human impact

Robert’s PerspectiveRuben’s Perspective


Intro …“For thirty years most interface design, and most computer design, has been headed down the path of the "dramatic" machine. Its highest ideal is to make a computer so exciting, so wonderful, so interesting, that we never want to be without it. A less-traveled path I call the "invisible"; its highest ideal is to make a computer so imbedded, so fitting, so natural, that we use it without even thinking about it.” – Mark Weiser


Quick Definition“…the parts of a computer and its software that you (the computer user) see, hear, touch, or talk to ”

Systems that allow users to interact with the machine through touch.

Potential Impacts On End User

Less dependence on traditional desktop/laptop?More natural Human to Computer Interaction?More Object to Object interface?

i.e. – less human “middle object”

Less tangible interaction between Humanse.g. – Picking up the phone to order pizza

More convenience at the expense of mental exercise?Ethical Impact?


Potential Impacts On Architect/Developer

More Embedded type programming?Grid Computing paradigm?

Web Services?Wireless Centric?


ConclusionRegardless of changes in UI Technology the mainstay is the inevitable impact on Humans
