The workshop aims to present a holistic framework of human computer interaction and the designer’s role in the process. The workshop starts with an understanding of human and computer capabilities and limitation with the view of using this knowledge to design usable systems. Models, frameworks, and styles of interaction are also discussed to educate designers on existing theories on the nature of interaction.
The workshop gives a complete view of HCI design and evaluation. Since design is an iterative process, designers will be made aware of different methods that they can use at each stage of the design process.
Hands-on workshops will be given for relevant topics so that participants will get a deeper understanding of the material.
Group usability exercise
conducted during the workshop.
- Understanding users is a prerequisite for building better interactive
products
- A deep understanding of human psychology, information processing,
memory, ergonomics and decision-making process allows designers
and developers to align their products better to the needs,
capabilities and limitations of their target audience.
- The workshop provides deep insights into these areas to
allow you to make informed decisions and design better interactive
products.
- User interfaces account for 48% of the code in modern software
and about a third of the weight in software reviews (Source: Usability
Engineering, Jacob Nielsen)
- HCI design methods have a high leverage on product structure,
ease and efficiency of use, perceived quality, customer satisfaction
and brand loyalty.
- Studies show that user interfaces take up to 48% of the
code in today's software and about a third of weight in software
reviews. In contrast, HCI related activities take up about
6% of development budgets worldwide.
- This means that companies who acknowledge the value of HCI
methods and invest in it stand a much better chance of succeeding
in the market.
