iPhone Dev Center: iPhone Human Interface Guidelines: Human Interface Principles: Creat... - 0 views

  • A great user interface follows human interface design principles that are based on the way people—users—think and work, not on the capabilities of the device
  • a beautiful, intuitive, compelling user interface enhances an application’s functionality and inspires a positive emotional attachment in users.
  • model your application’s objects and actions on objects and actions in the real world.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • This technique especially helps novice users quickly grasp how your application works. Folders are a classic software metaphor. People file things in folders in the real world, so they immediately understand the idea of putting data into folders on a computer.
  • iPhone OS users enjoy a heightened sense of direct manipulation because of the Multi-Touch interface. Using gestures, people feel a greater affinity for, and sense of control over, the objects they see on screen, because they do not use any intermediate device (such as a mouse) to manipulate them.
  • An iPhone application is better than a person at remembering lists of options, commands, data, and so on. Take advantage of this by presenting choices or options in list form, so users can easily scan them and make a choice. Keeping text input to a minimum frees users from having to spend a lot of time typing and frees your application from having to perform a lot of error checking. Presenting choices to the user, instead of asking for more open-ended input, also allows them to concentrate on accomplishing tasks with your application, instead of remembering how to operate it.
  • Your application should respond to every user action with some visible change.
  • Keep actions simple and straightforward so users can easily understand and remember them
  • Whenever possible, use standard controls and behaviors that users are already familiar with.
  • appearance has a strong impact on functionality: An application that appears cluttered or illogical is hard to understand and use.
  • Aesthetic integrity is not a measure of how beautiful your application is. It’s a measure of how well the appearance of your application integrates with its function. For example, a productivity application should keep decorative elements subtle and in the background, while giving prominence to the task by providing standard controls and behaviors.
  • An immersive application is at the other end of the spectrum, and users expect a beautiful appearance that promises fun and encourages discovery.
  • appearance still needs to integrate with the task.
