Task for next week

Create an aware object.

It must have a designed Pseudobulbar response to light. 

(Involuntarily emotional response)

Must consider the holistic design experience.

This means the physical form is as important as the technological sophistication.

Arduino LED blink!

Development sketches of how I want the game interface to look. Disregard the colour as it is just red to show where the additional bits are. Will be white when it is finished.

Simple yet effective! (I hope!)

Some super fun sound stuff.

Hurts my head! Homework for next week is playing with setting sound to play when the mouse goes on different parts of the background.

So creating an instrument.

So will need to get over coordinate placing!

Starting to work with text.

Making sure the fonts don't de-resolution when they are made bigger/smaller etc.

Interesting but damn I hate numbers.

Don Norman TED talk notes.

Yeh I'm going to annoy you today with my notes and ramblings.

So Don has a beard. He likes fun things. Like a Philippe Stark juicer. Which he uses in his front room.

Global cutting knife made in Japan. Balanced. Delight to use.

So is he selling me these things or what? 

Really likes fun design.

Faults are fun? Fun fun FUN.

Positive experiences are successful experiences?

Ergonomics lecture. Atleast I think it's a lecture. He's saying 'fuck' alot.

It's all about user centred approaches

Book- The design of everyday things

Errors are part of any design. It's not a flaw in your creativity just a flaw in the way in which you've designed. Work with it and rectify it. Problem solve before problems arise.

Ergonomics is an applied science that coordinates the design of devices, systems, and physical working conditions with the capacities and requirements of the worker.

Anthropometrics is a comparative study of human body measurements and properties.

Usability is the ease of use and learnability of human-made objects

Memory? 

Data sets: cost money but if you're designing FOR people then you need to know what current people are like? But how accurate are they really? Where does their information come from?

Push/Pull systems are very prominent. But they can have flaws too. Weight, strength needed to use them for example. Like the door to f15 which is super heavy.

Usability as defined by interaction design:

         -Time to complete task

         - Time to complete task after a specified time away from the                         product.

         - Number and type of errors per task

         - Number of errors per unit time

         - Number of navigations to online help or manuals

         - Number of users making a specific error

         - Number of users completing a task specifically.

Important topics in Human factors. Psychology

Instructional message design

Human capabilities and limitations in specific work areas

Cognition

Perception

Ideas already in place in peoples minds about colours/places/times/people can be used and manipulated.
