Task 1 – Designing for the Scenario

Posted: January 4, 2012 in Human Computer Interaction

The task of designing 4 HCI’s (Human Computer Interface) is complete. I have designed 2 input and 2 output devices that meet the specification. The result is an interactive map of the United Kingdom that has potential to teach geography and history by allowing the user to browse each section of the map to find points of interest. The second HCI is an interactive Train Route Board. The board focuses more on getting students to their academic location rather than serving as an educational device directly. The board allows the user to interact with the train routes in order to find out information about their journey. The third HCI is a Nursery School Teachers Assistant. The device allows the teacher to present several topics to the pupils in a more user friendly and interesting way. The device would assist both teacher and pupil while learning about shapes, numbers, words etc… The final device is a 3D Car explorer. The device is aimed towards students taking a mechanics course at their local college. The device assists in teaching students about car parts and how they are made and how they function. This device would offer a more efficient and desirable method of learning to the student.
