Social Interface In the introduction of the book of Norman Long, “Battlefields of Knowledge”, Long states that theoretical and the application itself cannot be segregated into their respective venues. His book takes a different perspective specifically by not discriminating between the “knowledge of understanding” and “knowledge of action.” Long’s book assumes that the theoretical and the pragmatic issues are so intimately entwined that it would be like separating melted ice from your coke.

common user interface replaces the multiple interfaces found among individual electronic library resources, reducing the time and effort spent by the user in both searching and learning to use a range of databases. Although the primary function of a common user interface is to simplify the search process, such products can be holistic solutions designed to address requirements other than searching, such as user authentication and site branding. According to Ahmed et al., 2007, user interface design has
Human Computer Interface Introduction ============ HCI stands for either Human Computer Interface or Human Computer Interaction. HCI is the study of how the users of computers utilise them to complete tasks in the environment they will finally be used in. Each of these are specific to each task, a HCI cannot be designed for just one set of users for one set of tasks and then just expect a different set of users to respond the same to a similar set of tasks in the same HCI. When
Interfaces take places into our lives in the form of the various devices, analog or digital, with whom we normally establish some kind of interaction. This means that the interfaces are "tools" extenders for our bodies, such as computers, cell phones, elevators, etc. The concept of interface is applicable to any situation or process where the exchange or transfer of information takes place. Some of the ways of thinking to the interface might be like “the area or place of interaction between two different
Haptic Interfaces The usage of Haptic Interfaces on everyday devices has revolutionized the way that we will interact with computers and mobile devices for everyday usage. In this paper, I will contend that Haptic interfaces will be used in my Car Checker application, because it will be helpful with light, stimulating jolts of touch feedback in regards to buttons being pressed in the application and the vibrations that come with the application notifications. Before I will talk about the different
mainly through digital means and media, the way information is arranged and presented on the screen is crucial. Because of this need for fast access and easy arrangement arose, in the early 1980s, companies started to work on various graphical user interfaces (or GUI for short). Most dictionaries define a GUI as ‘a way of arranging information on a computer screen that is easy to understand and use because it uses icons, menus and a mouse rather than only text.’ Introducing such software allowed a human-computer
effective interface can be quite difficult. These small devices contain powerful technologies that make the lives of the user easy by allowing instant access to the Internet. With this access, almost any sort of information is available. However, without the use of the keyboard or computer mouse, the WIMP interface (Windows, Icons, Menus, and Pointers) becomes useless. Fortunately, the technological world has adapted to these changes by creating new interfaces. Many of these interfaces are known
When dealing with technology, User Interface Design is often not considered the main part of the technology. One might assume that UI is not an important part of the device and can be thrown in at last minute but in reality UI is the most vital part of the any system. When a user looks at the device, the UI is the most essential part because it is how people interact with the computer. If a user is confused or doesn’t understand the UI, that could be a huge problem for the company. If a user disagrees
with this new technology called, brain-computer interfaces. This amazing technology will not only revamp military applications, but most importantly help the medical community substantially. It brings the possibility of sound to the deaf, sight to the blind and movement to the physically challenged. However, with all great ideas there is a downside, there are many technical and ethical issues that people are not willing to risk. A brain-computer interface, also known as a BCI, is technology that allows
various graphical user interface features ----------------------------------- Windows is a software from Microsoft, a American based company Chairman of which is Mr Bill Gates a world known personality. He developed this software in the year 1968 which was a technological breakthrough. windows is used in more than 90% of computer users. Windows made Mr. Bill Gates the worlds richest personality Windows can be customized in appearance and colours Windows can be upgraded according to the user
Graphical user interface (GUI) is likely to be one of the most significant features of technology. According to (Arora et al 2005; Marcus, 1997; Barker & Lamont 1994), GUI is symbols, formats, images, games, labels and menus appear on screens which are used to reduce the system errors, improve its performance to be more appropriate for users, avoid the complex procedures and accomplish their aims of applications accurately. GUI also means how the system can make an environment to let users able
EEG, Fuzzy Systems. I. INTRODUCTION Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is method to convert brain activities signal to understandable action for machine or robot or any actuator, one of the commonly method to get brain activities is electroencephalography (EEG) system which is easier and low cost and also non-invasive method compare to other brain computer interface systems [1], [2]. In Recent researches of non-invasive brain computer interface based on EEG to control actuators result of create some
main component is OTRS framework which includes all central functions for application and ticket system, including user interface, mail interface, tickets and system aspects. OTRS is a web application and provides separately user-friendly interfaces for customers and agents. The interface is available in several modern web Browsers including mobile platforms. The web interface is allowed to customize to another theme or skin. OTRS has customizable and powerful agent dashboard design that agent could
User Interface in Video games holds more value than most could realize. When you play a video game, the user interface is usually the number one thing you spend time “interacting” with when you play the game. In order to even play it, you have to use the options in front of you the play. It usually comes in the form of a group of menus or a small display showing the buttons that you need to use, like shortcuts for your abilities. It can display information such as your health, or the resource
Three types of user interfaces are command driven, interface menu driven, and interface graphical user interface. A command line interface is basically just a plain screen, usually white text on a black background, such as MS-DOS or the Command Prompt in Windows, where a user can type in commands into the input. As an overall statement, a CLI requires that the user know their material in order for it to be effective. The CLI offers users enormous elasticity in that a single command can be executed
that mobile technology's emergence is recent, there are a lot of factors that have helped in the development and evolution of its user interfaces for the mobile web and mobile applications. While mobile technology can be seen as a new and dominating medium, there are a few problems that many developers and designers have faced. Nonetheless, the design of user interfaces for Mobile Applications and Mobile Websites are ever changing and provide for a lucrative business, and because of that there are many
A good web interface design is an important factor that helps users “interact” with computers. In the present, web interfaces need to be presented and designed in a way in which it can be easily received by the user. In the design field, the elements users see on a computer screen such as the text, graphics and icons etc. make up the interface of a web page (Dabbs, 2002) . Users rely on the interface to complete online tasks and interact with computers and maintaining consistency is an arguably important
standard and consists of seven layers that build from the wire. At the first layer, “the physical layer”, hubs maybe used for simple, inexpensive technology within a corporation. Hubs, when receiving data sent to it, sends that data too all network interface cards, or NICS on each computer. If the data is at its correct destination, the NIC to read the data, but if it is not, the data is discarded. Of course, this setting is much slower, because the other NICS are waiting for there turn, which is after

has identified several issues with the current network infrastructure. The first is the availability and cost of token ring hardware. Ethernet is the dominant network topology and is included on many devices at no cost. Equipment with token ring interfaces can be found but are much more expensive. Another problem is that the current hardware is about 10 years old and is experiencing increased maintenance costs. Another problem is that the majority of the existing cable plant does not meet minimal
