Semester Ending

Working on completing final for HCI522. Its very long and involved exam that covers a whole semester of work in research methods. I think that I have the experimental design part figured out. The proposed study methodology that I will use in my study is between-groups design.

Augmented Reality and Air App Mashup

This is a augmented reality view that I adapted from various tools. I wanted to develop a way to share 3d models of architectural designs.

Creation of App For HCI site.

Wireframe for HCI site

This is the wireframe for the proposed redesign of the Iowa State University Human Computer Interaction site. The home page features a redesigned logo which is intended to create a brand identity.

App Design

There is also an app featured on the home page that helps users decide upon the education track based upon key words of some of the interaction careers. There are so may terms used in HCI that it can be confusing for anyone considering this field. This is an attempt to compile some of the terms in a useful training search.

Some of the terms used to describe this field:

• Experience Design
• Interaction Design
• Information Architecture
• User-Centered Design
• Graphic User Interface
• Service Design

Most of these terms were taken from a Nettuts article.

In the first drop down menu a visitor to the site selects their current status. In the next box they can input a term. The search box is connected to the HCI course descriptions. The information that is returned is a course of study for the user. This diagram illustrates the process.
