Assignment 3: Direct
Manipulation
Due
Week 8 and worth 80 points
Early
computer systems relied on command line interfaces to perform all actions.
Today, the majority of systems use direct manipulation rather than a command
line interface. The goal of designing a direct manipulation interface is to
make use of the system intuitive to the end user. One industry that has been
extremely successful designing intuitive direct manipulation inputs is the
video game industry. Most game players are able to learn controls as they play
a game and then apply the same controls to similar games. Rarely do they need
to read a user manual.
Write
a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
1.
Describe
the three (3) principles of direct manipulation and give examples as to how
they are used in video game controls.
2.
Analyze
video game-type interfaces and discuss three (3) reasons why video game-type
interfaces would not be effective for real-world applications.
3.
Describe
at least three (3) advantages of direct manipulation versus command line
interfaces.
4.
Evaluate
direct manipulation and describe three (3) problems with it.
5.
Use
at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar
Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
