Optimising Visual Interfaces for the Human Brain (25/10/2006)

Rob Bateman

Computers have always used images as the primary way of communicating information to us. When two way communication is required, a visual interface is used – a collection of virtual icons and buttons on a screen that we can interact with. Today, ease of use is an important aspect of web design, and can make or break a website. This presentation concentrates on how understanding a few of the pre-programmed behaviours of our vision can help when tackling ease of use issues, and goes some way to explaining why some interfaces are considered ‘intuative’, and others just plain ‘annoying’.
