Example analysis of interactive design: bold design of natural user interface

Today, there is a ifanr " gesture operation (Natural user interface)", the view is conservative, the argument is insufficient.

Android's menus are really hard to remember, and it's hard to forget whether the interface has menus. Plam the menu on the left side of the status bar, ensuring that the touchscreen also uses the menu, but there are drawbacks. menu in the upper left corner of the interface, 28 pixels wide, difficult to click. Please take out your mobile phone and click on the upper left corner of the large screen in your right hand. Either thumb stretched over, or the other four fingers raised to point to the upper left corner, very awkward.

A pop-up menu is usually either a trivial function or important. If the function does not matter, it is better to place the menu in the first interface of the launcher (the main interface), such as Help, when the user needs, can be fully returned to the main interface to choose, by reducing the level of interface to ensure that users can easily return to the main interface. If the function is important, large-screen phones can fully display these features and are necessary.

The iphone's toolbars, control lists, and some small controls completely replace menus, guaranteeing the visibility of most controls. For one interface, the 5 controls on the taskbar meet the requirements, and if they don't fit, you should first consider whether these features are necessary.

The menu is the physical key to the age of the residue, in addition to press the confirmation key, the remaining functions through the left soft key to operate other functions. For touching a large screen, you don't have to keep menus, especially if you need to switch between touch and physical keys like Android.

In addition, the article also mentions the inconsistency of gestures, for mobile phone This situation is not exist, each operating system for gesture definition is very consistent, and for gesture recognition is also very flexible. For example, sliding interface, if the current interface can only slide left and right, not necessarily horizontal sliding, or even with the level of 80-degree angle of the finger movement can also complete the sliding operation. In the iphone's Interface Design Guide, remind developers to limit the operation of the application to "swipe" and "translate" because the rest of the gesture users don't necessarily know.

In the iphone shopping program, sliding left and right may cause the product to be moved out of the shopping cart, which is the fault of the interactive design in the program. One hand gesture is not unique, you can slide the interface can also delete merchandise, second, users already want to buy this product, should not be so easy and can accidentally delete merchandise, can add some difficulties, uncertain circumstances should have two times to confirm, ask the user whether need to delete.

Future interactions are also done by capturing the direction of the user's finger movement, by stretching or detecting the operation of the cranial nerves, the application of the technology will certainly lead to some new problems, but it is not possible to introduce the original design principles and user experience concepts into the design prematurely, as advocated in brainstorming design thinking, bold design, Careful argument, design should be more radical. In the industrial design of every 10 of the products put into the market only 1 of the success of the product, the Internet product features increased, user needs become blurred, user research has become more important, the purpose is to reduce the market risk of products. Compliance with the user experience can ensure that the product is qualified, it is difficult to create a creative and qualified products.

The first measure of a company's product should be innovation, not the user experience.
