The work, the working methods of good designers

The important functions of his approach;

-To illuminate what he perceives as best practices-To help those who work with the design team to understand these practices and outputs-To foster a shared literacy -To show exemplary student work side by side with that of those who pioneered the field -To give a sense of some of the basic competencies that he would expect in an interaction/experience design team, and in the educational programs that train them.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

“Wizard of Oz Technique” ----------- Fake it before you build it.

The aim is to experience interactive systems, before they are real, even before we have arrived at their final design.

With the example of the Wizard, we see that we can conjure up systems that will let users have real and valid experiences, before the system exists in any normal sense of the word.

The Wizard of Oz Technique involves making a working system, where the person using it is unaware that some or all of the system’s functions are actually being performed by a human operator, hidden somewhere “behind the screen.”

’Generally the last thing that you should do when beginning to design an interactive system is write code’

Examples, following the Wizard

The Listening Typewriter

Figure 81: The Wizard’s Listening TypewriterA perfectly functional listening typewriter is implemented simply by having a fast typist, hidden behind the screen, who would enter the text captured from the microphone.

Chameleon: From Wizardy to Smoke-and-Mirrors

“Smoke-and-Mirrors” technology

The question he was asking first;What if the contents on the screen of a handheld device could be determined by what the device was near, what is was pointed at, or how it was moved up-down, left-right, or in-out?

Chameleon; a type of position and motion sensing display

It illustrates panning across a display. Unlike a desktop computer, where you use thescroll bars and scroll arrows to move the document on a stationary display, here you move the display over the surface of a stationary virtual document in a manner analogous to our camcorder example.

It illustrates how the behaviour of the Chameleon can be driven by its position over an object in the physical world, rather than some virtual document. In this case, the object is a map. But when coupled with the Chameleon, the paper map becomes a guide forbrowsing for more detail about its surface. So, for example, if you move the display over Winnipeg, Manitoba (where George is holding it), it might give you details about the city’s important role in the fur trade, or why it is the mosquito capital of Canada.
