| | Jef Raskin - Summary of The Humane Interface |
| | For an interface feature to be humane it must be easily learned and it also must become automatic without interfering with the learning of or habituating to other features. | | | The present paradigms cannot be evolved or reworked to solve this problem; novel approaches to interface design at the system level as well as in the details are required. | | | To develop an interface that can be operated automatically by a human places constraints on the design, constraints that we learn about from cognitive psychology’s studies of habit formation. |

| | Archy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The stated goal of Archy is to design a software system starting from an understanding of human cognition and the needs of the user, rather than from a software, hardware, or marketing viewpoint. | | | Designed by human-computer interface expert Jef Raskin, it embodies his ideas and established results about human-centered design described in his book The Humane Interface. | | | This ambitious plan to build a general purpose environment that is easy to use for anyone is based on designing for the common cognitive capabilities of all humans. |

| | CONTENTS |
| | This discussion of programs that operate interfaces is relevant to human-machine interface design because you might want to construct a set of stored commands that can be played back with a single gesture, a macro, which is a rudimentary form of computer program. | | | The ideal humane interface would reduce the interface component of a user's work to benign habituation. | | | If the current state of the interface is not the user's locus of attention and if an interface has modes, the user will sometimes make errors because his locus of attention is not the current mode. |

| | He is the author of "The Humane Interface" (Addison-Wesley 2000 -- available in 8 languages) and was a professor and computer center director at the University of California, San Diego. | | | Another problem is that many people (including users, interface designers, and marketers) have become so acclimated to today's interface methods that our current paradigms seem inevitable, natural, and inextricably embedded in our culture. | | | Part of the problem is that today's Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs) are incompatible with fundamental human mental abilities, a problem that is compounded because GUI assumptions have been built into development environments. |

| | Neither can you overestimate the ability of computer users to find a way to rationalize/explain the (faulty) result of their actions when using their computers as being the computers fault, or simply the way it's meant to be. | | | My experience with computer interfaces -- ranging from MacOS 7-9 and MacOS X through Windows 3.11, Windows 95 and Windows XP to Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD -- and with users using those environments, leads me to the conclusion that intuitive/simple-to-understand interfaces are important for the majority of computer users. | | | The Mac is a great interface designed for the computing mainstream of the 1980's. |

| | Humanizing Microsoft Windows |
| | From the standpoint of a humane interface, one of the biggest problems with Windows is that it's not monotonous: that is, there's more than one way to accomplish a task. | | | The term humane is borrowed from Jef Raskin, who defines a humane interface to be an interface that "is responsive to human needs and considerate of human frailties". | | | However, this requires that the user know what constitutes a humane environment; also, in order to find the most effective way of completing a task, they must know all possible ways of completing it so that they can determine which is most humane. |

| | Though closely related to Anticipation and Feedback, Indication is described by Jef Raskin in his book, the Humane Interface, as “highlighting the single object pointed to as the cursor is moved, without any other user action such as clicking.” I prefer a more general definition: indication lets people know when actions or information are available. | | | According to Raskin: “Indication is necessary if an interface is designed in accord with the principle of visibility.” So once again we encounter the need for effective visual communication in interface design. | | | Functioning Form is published by LukeW Interface Designs © 1996-2005. |
