Analysis And Design

This paper discusses the issues of human factors that affect interface design. It addresses the challenges that system analysts may face. It presents the strategies of incorporating human factor engineering into the process of system analysis and design. The user performance and their mental models are also discussed.

Method Of Design

A series of studies is reported in which a number of human factors considerations were investigated in the design of a keypad entry system for Telidon public access terminals. Initial studies evaluated subjects' preferences with simulated keypads upon which subjects performed simulated Telidon tasks. Subsequently, working prototypes were developed of the two most preferred keypads. User performance and preference were evaluated in a series of field studies. It was found that preference measures for the prototypes closely approximated data derived using the simulations, indicating validity of this inexpensive method of design testing.

Development Cycle

This paper describes an experimental study that compares a graphical user interface for a computer-telephony product designed without the involvement of a human factors engineer to a redesign of that interface designed with a human factors engineer late in the development cycle. Both interfaces were usability tested with target customers. Results from a number of measures, both subjective and objective, indicate that the interface designed with the human factors engineer was easier to use than the interface designed without the human factors engineer. The results of this study show the benefits of involving human factors engineers in the design of graphical user interfaces even towards the end of a development cycle. However, this involvement is most effective when human factors engineers are included as an integral part of the design and development process even at this late stage in the process.

Counter Surface

Kitchen design is evaluated using counter space, counter location and counter height as the criteria. A survey of apartment kitchens showed that designers generally follow the guidelines for total counter space, but the allocation of counter space to the different work centers makes the designs inadequate. An experimental study shows that the standard 36 high counter surface is not at the correct height for many kitchen tasks and a simple, economical design for adjustable cabinets is presented.
