Design - Case Studies
The module explores the practical application of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) theories through various Design Case Studies, particularly focusing on user needs, cognitive principles, and technological constraints. The case studies illustrate significant design challenges and solutions for improving usability and accessibility in interactive systems, emphasizing the iterative nature of HCI design and user-centric approaches.

What we have learnt
- Real-world applications of HCI design principles can significantly enhance user experience.
- Design solutions must consider linguistic diversity and technological constraints.
- User-centered designs improve usability and foster digital inclusion.
Key Concepts
- -- Cognitive Load
- The total amount of mental effort used in the working memory; minimizing cognitive load is essential for user-friendly designs.
- -- Predictive Text Input
- A system that anticipates a user's input to streamline text entry and reduce errors, particularly useful in complex languages.
- -- UserCentric Design
- An approach that prioritizes the needs and experiences of users throughout the design process, ensuring the final product meets their expectations.
- -- MultiKey Press Input
- A method of text input on mobile devices that requires pressing multiple keys to produce the desired character, often used in languages with complex scripts.
