My Project
Title : Software Interface Design for Network
Computers
Supervisor : Dr
Richard Thomas richard@cs.uwa.edu.au
What is it about anyway?
I will be looking at the design principles behind the Graphical User Interface
(GUI) of the application suite HotJava
Views developed by Sun Microsystems
for Network Computers. Sun has discarded many of the principles that
we see in the Windows GUI to design an interface which is simple, functional
and easy to learn. I will be conducting an usability analysis of
some of the design principles to find out how suitable they are for Network
Computer users and if they are better than the principles employed in existing
GUIs, such as Windows.
For more information please read my research
proposal.
