Usability Quote of the Day

May 23, 2012

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

Designing usable rich internet applications

A good example of usable rich internet but a mystery meat navigation setup ...

"I spoke at the inaugural Canberra web standards group this afternoon, on the topic of "Designing usable rich internet applications".

You can read my presentation: Designing usable rich internet applications but it may not make sense by itself. I'll let you know when the podcast is available (I'm looking forward to listening to it myself - Peter said I used del.icio.us as a verb - as in 'you can delicious it').

When you look at the presentation, it may not be clear what is happening. It is in the S5 format - click on the screen (or use arrows or page up/page down) to go through it, or use the controls in the bottom right-hand corner to jump to a slide. View the outline (the little icon that looks like a 0 with a line through it) to see notes and references."   continued ...   (Via DonnaM)
