Assignment 1
For this assignment students are required to write a report which explores potential interface design techniques which could be utilised to enhance the experience of a specific user group. Students' research and personal interests should enable one to identify a suitable group and give scope to identify their characteristics and needs. Explicit examples may be used from existing products or interfaces to reinforce the points raised. The report should include:
- reference to appropriate academic literature
- the results from all enquiries and research
- a critical analysis of a range of techniques which could enhance the experience of the chosen group
- how such techniques might affect any future design considerations
