Okay, so aside from the doors on the main floor of education building between AV services or photography and the elevator, are there other ones on campus that are problematic? Yes,
multipurpose room where it has like the same crowd on both sides have no sort of like labeling. And so because people keep on trying to pull it when it's pushed, it's like automatically awkward already off balance. Like this way. We keep trying to pull it in. So pushing events which Keisha multipurpose room into one of the residences it comes to mind
or we can think of the on campus.
Their College has a string of fire doors that are perched exactly where I send everyone
there's the doors of the entrance to the building that have just been
ordered the last like multiple years and fire exits. Anything think that's for us to be? College Ready there's a couple doors that have just been with them for multiple years at this point.
So are there any interface examples you've come up with? noticed? So people are coming late exam will be on paper on Friday. So any any examples of interfaces even notice since you've been more sinister?
Sure. So it's a laundry machines and solder machine is the Tuesday machines and the residents here. You have to add money on the card on like a card or the laundry machines and the machine that you put in the money for it doesn't say like the interface doesn't tell you to put your credit card in like after like looking around for multiple minutes. I saw that they had like an instruction poster above the machine that you had to read. So like the machine has instructions on it, but at no point when you're trying to have money doesn't help for a credit card or debit card. So you're expected to see the post.
So there's a parking machine at the airport isn't the most secure as well. I've noticed. So we can observe lots of examples like that. I think what I want I want to bring up that one example I talked about it's in the book and I mentioned that
let me first Okay, so so if you weren't able to record attendance on Friday,
because we had set it up to be minus, minus 40 minutes ahead of time. And it still didn't work. Send me a note. I'll fix it.
So there's no no password here. So you can use this or go to the link directly Okay, can you see that all right. Zoom in a little bit Okay, so this is from 2018. So, last week I bought a great new Bluetooth headset then sadly proceeded to spend over an hour and a frustrating quest to connect it to my computer
does that opening line resonate with anyone? Despite the promises made by both a headset manual and the computer support site, the headset did not automatically connect to the computer after rereading the instructions, checking to make sure both devices were on. scouring the headset reviews to confirm was compatible with my computer, and even testing the headset by syncing it to a different computer. I was just about ready to give up and then turn the darn thing and return the darn thing when I found a random Help page from a completely different hardware manufacturer which changed everything. The new Help page showed an actual screenshot of what the windows and Bluetooth settings switch looks like when it's turned on. Looking at this screenshots and they realized my mistake, the Bluetooth settings of the screen I'd be staring at for the past hour was actually showing me that the Bluetooth was off on my computer so here's
what's okay
so how could this be interpreted? So, now we see this is on so it's clearly visible design. But how does that one look like? How does that appearance need to be touched? On to begin
with maybe the thought was like the play button, or the play symbol is showing I mean it's not
Yeah, so that's one thing. So Bluetooth positions to the right, switches to the left. Also most the most pen keyboard at shows then it's connected. So this seems to show that it's it's on and it's working. They detected
it to throw the device screen click on the plus sign to do that. So this style of label response to this interpretation of the bottom
right. Because it says click the button to add a Bluetooth device or other device.
So click this to turn it off so how do how do we address that kind of problem? If we're designing this interface, how do we make it better? Avoid this issue
so that you can
okay
they just have the button hammered on and off on the side to indicate which sides off and I'd say gone
So they've fixed that for Windows 11 has now turned it off. It says like a small message under Bluetooth it says Bluetooth is turned off
it also depends on what you're looking at. Here is a quick pop up now and Windows. With the quick settings. I feel like I've moved to public quicksave it's a completely different point where there's no on or off. I think a little carry character will appear on the side that you can put down on this device okay so what what kind of metaphor is available to us in this situation? You're in a cave sofas license to search
so what about a control panel so with the control panel behave this way that things that the slaves would change if you're a bank and switches. You change them and then the labels also change. I don't think that will happen. If you're looking at a console so the console here share this with you after I'll have a blinking button to maybe I should do a movie so if we have a light switch unless there are multiple switches switches up is on I'm thinking the other day so if we're going to play the metaphor of a light switch, you know when you're going to include three layer switches. In the interface we have a different kinds of switch
where it turns green rockets are occupied
so we could have some idea of that. So in that case, both alternatives are available, so we'd say
so maybe, then if we're going to put the label on one side, indicate the state of the switch and we can also indicate there's more than one variable and the other metaphors we can employ
when he learned the structured theory, term closed and open flow switches often
we think often is like connected causes but it's just the opposite.
Yeah okay. So how about
the ones in zero switches that are labeled one and zero. Do understand zero is zero as often so one is true. Zero is open
that means disconnected.
This class I'm taking a course we're doing like tables where we have to deal with keys. And he said one is elected T but a productive use for one is it acts the same way is one
so I tried to make a draw rocker switch there Yeah, so I guess one is true. Zero you think abs and oh for on
is always good to know for all.
So I would say that it's not completely guaranteed that one, we're going to press one and everyone's going to understand that it's going to be different so what can help? Was your like full picture so you had to say. Oh, wow, thanks.
But that's just about you. Don't have to show the race.
Yeah, it's all
assuming that the user has the ability to read Joy not just hang on to the text of the word is the state. So as long as that way, confusion from the bottom we're actually telling the user what the state is. So it's a fair environment. That the user be able to read these computer we just the global standard.
Yeah. So there's consistency issues here. Are we displaying the current state or are we displaying the future state if we activate the switch or the control?
Of course. I haven't seen this in like a real life thing. But I've seen it in games where if you have a button for multiple states more than two it often reflects the future state. So is that
I think it's a matter of being consistent.
Because if we got to this value button for iPhones, I mean if it is silent, it shows her at night
so where does it show the red
line? That's the red line.
Oh I never I didn't realize that I just thought if switches down
silent so instead of red line i That didn't help me at all, but because then I could see that there's a color there but that
we just wrote the wording entirely for one and given the current standard to show it for Android and most devices. It's
just having a lit up button. If you swipe down on top your binary now lit up or not and it's not gonna say any words and you know, information you need from that. So if
that's the standard, that's where the really originated kind
of migrated from mobile to computers
that I think you should just follow the standard setup and it's the same one
all of a sudden disappeared. Too much. Although Apple also has it separated, I know on
my laptop as well.
So Bluetooth and other devices are two separate sections and settings rather than having them as one section, which would probably
make more sense to make the switch vertical instead of horizontal about this. Some cultures really bad because I was gonna say if you read the other way that
something's up culture is like
so in that case, if you're reading right to left the nice feature of the interface would be to read the locale settings and then put so if if we have left to right off on that appropriate if we switch the order of labels
more confusing someone is like multilingual. The baseline computer settings
Yeah, so if we're doing like we should and reading the locale that set up on the computer then we should have the best chance to have a meaningful display for the person so the question here learning problems with is what are the other options so that it says it's on Zenmuse off now or it will be off if I flip switch and what are the other possible states for the switch?
So that's a little bit of recall versus recognition. Having to recall that we want you to switch and see all the options that are available under control from the switch. And you can decide by one either on or off. So I'm going to see if it's off and I'm going to turn it on so that makes sense. So
when you say feedback is the most important thing in this instance, because for example like a light switch, no matter how confusing it is, you'll just try and see what happens sort of like the feedback, but because of this is more like embedded. So maybe some sort of pop up or text messages are important are the most important.
Oh, it's a little bit like we talked about so far just looking at the interface. Some things might become apparent to us if we're doing a walk through interface. Some things might be red flags, we notice the red line on the side of an iPhone is clear. sort of saying that's clear. But then when people use it. You asked about the red line maybe people don't understand that reference, maybe. Experience with users is maybe very different than the experience we have to sort of an analysis of
the interface. So this feedback, the most important thing I'm not sure that I would say that but all these things can
can help to reinforce the message. And if we have a metaphor that we're applying consistently right so they give a metaphor is that we have some description of we have some models, some idea of how the thing is operating based on our experience with the thing.
We're making the connection to so if we've reinforced the metaphor every step then then we're conveying the message more clearly. So I want to kind of kick off the next design next project piece. And so that's basically
start from the needs that we have identified in the first
and the understand portion. We wanted to design two different interfaces. So first of all, clarify what you're focusing on what aspect of the interface you're going to focus on. And then think of two different metaphors. That can be used to help people are symbols that some symbols
will say yes. So you want to different metaphors, and and then based on those metaphors, I want you to sketch two different interfaces that
leverage those metaphors. So going from the needs, the unmet needs to the interface sketches. So it's okay to include some far out ideas video I think it's been a while most of the group from ideal industrial design for was designing a cuboid for Gilbert cute. cubicle for Gilbert cat, they went through some foreign ideas and it's kind of a fun video. To watch. I'll get the link to that. Any questions? Or concerns? So I didn't know the COVID test today and I'm negative understand what every shot is. Yes.
Regarding the forces
Yeah, I'll get that sorted out this week. So soon okay. Well have a good resting your Wednesday today. exam on Friday, and I'll give you a chance to provide some formative feedback as well as I'm collecting feedback Okay, have a good day. Yeah. I figured it was bugging sound far as I know so there is a document that you have on the center like those types of videos for watching he told me somebody was like LEDs and wraparound anytime you probably short about suicidal ideation you are doing the job it's pretty easy and when you still stay by studies in English it's very disorienting. Did you hear about the show when
do you want to know when the lights are that electricity? We had to go to like elementary school that later so we did that call so much all the parents like that so I think that's all they should have to let me know if you have any more information about that thanks. Thanks See you Friday. Hello, hello. Hi. Can I scan the QR if you didn't scan that I'm sorry. It's okay. Thank you
everyone I just have a good day bro
I had one question about the midterm exam four chapters of the reference book. So I started start reading that that was so good, but there's so many details that was that was somewhat related to
so so we talked about in class you can find additional material about our classes. Chapter chapters one through four. But it's gonna be focused on what we
did in class. Oh, I see. I see.
Because so I think we came up with a pretty good list of possibilities
because that's what's so good because for example, I find a question, for example, in the previous midterm, about the correlation between intuition and metaphor. And this question was a little bit weird for me, so I didn't find I didn't find the answer. Exactly. So I just want to ask, how should we answer for example, such questions what do you think? No,
I wouldn't give me such questions. I wouldn't give you a question that's not grounded.
Because because, for example, was previous, you know previous exams for example, in 2020 2016, or something like that. So I'm just curious that one, because was the all topics covered? All of those terms or those those can be a little bit different? With each other?
Yeah, I think going to talk about the same kinds of things, every class but the details can be a little different. So if something seems weird to you morning anyway, it's not COVID If the rapid engine test is accurate
for me was the same action because the weather was getting cold and yeah, I saw a lot of people who
