Differences between UI/GUI/UE/UX/ID/UED/UCD

Brief description:

UI (User Interface): User Interface

UE (User Experience): User Experience

ID (interaction design): Interactive Design

UID (User Interface Design): User Interface Design

UED (User-experience design): user experience design

UCD (user-centered design): user-centric design

Ui: User Interface

The user interface is actually a relatively broad concept. It refers to the interface in the process of interaction between people and machines. Taking cars as an example, the steering wheel, dashboard, and shift changer all belong to the user interface.

• Currently, the graphic user interface (GUI: graphic user interface) displayed on the screen is generally called the UI.

• Currently, the UI Designer is also a GUI designer.

UE or UX: User Experience

User Experience refers to the user's subjective feelings when using the product.

• Focus on users' overall feelings before, during, and after use, including behavior, emotion, and achievement.

• User Experience is the overall feeling, so it is not only from the user interface, but also a part of it.

ID: Interaction Design

Interaction refers to the interaction process of any machine. The interaction design makes the whole process available and easy to use by understanding people's psychology, goals, and expectations.

• The main objects of interaction design are man-machine interface (UI), but not limited to Gui ).

• To achieve the goal, Interaction designers need to pay attention to psychology, culture, human engineering, and many other aspects.

UID: User Interface Design

User Interface Design (UID) is not just a "beautiful interface", so it inevitably involves interactive design. In a broad sense, interface design includes interaction design.

UED: user experience design

User Experience is personal subjective, but a common experience can be improved through good design. The user experience design aims to improve the user experience.

• Internet enterprises generally classify visual interface design, interaction design, and front-end design into user experience design.

• But in fact, the user experience design runs through the entire product design process, which is inevitably involved, but is only important or not.

• An excellent user experience designer must have a deep understanding of the interface, interaction, and implementation technologies.

UCD: user centered design user-centric design

UCD is a design model and thinking. It is emphasized that the design should be performed from the user's perspective during the product design process, and the user should be given priority.

• The product design has a BTU three-circle diagram (business, technique, user), that is, a good product, should take into account the commercial profit, technical implementation and user needs.

• Both B, T, and u can give priority to product design. UCD only emphasizes user priority.
