| | Graphical user interface |
 | | Designing suitable interfaces for handheld devices, such as PDA applications and their smartphone cousins, has been a major challenge for user interface designers, and some of the more successful diverge considerably from desktop computer designs. | | | A graphical user interface (or GUI, pronounced "gooey") is a method of interacting with a computer through a metaphor of direct manipulation of graphical images and widgets in addition to text. | | | The GUI is generally contrasted with the command line interface (CLI), an earlier, text-only interface that required the user to type in commands or text strings to cause the computer to take some action. |

| | User interface at opensource encyclopedia |
| | The design of the user interface is relevant for the user's understanding (also called the mental model) of the system and thus for the system's usability or user-friendliness. | | | The user interface is the part of a system exposed to a user. | | | As for software, the user interface is usually the only part a user ever sees. |

| | User Interface Engineering -- Paper Prototyping Tips Article |
| | When users are doing tasks with data, you want the data to be as real as possible, but it’s often impractical to have lots of data available. | | | In cases where users must look up data that is not provided in a prototype, we create tasks in such a way that we can predict the data. | | | When users click something that isn’t a link, the incredibly intelligent mouse works and makes the non-link a link, bringing up the page the computer thinks the user wants. |

| | Interview > Spool Vision: An Eye on User Data |
| | We've learned that users act differently when the topic is of deep interest to them than when it is only of passing interest or they are doing it as a favor to you. | | | Web developers need user data to find out if the hard work they are about to invest will make it any easier for users to accomplish their mission. | | | They are missing information about who the users are, what they will do with the product, how the product fits into the user's lifestyle and goals, how users are different from each other and how they are similar. |

| | Automated User Interface Software Engineering with a Pattern Reflecting Programming Language |
| | In this context, domain-specific languages such as the I-GET User Interface programming language are primarily designed to be domain-optimised, and therefore better suited to addressing domain-related software development problems in comparison to general programming languages. | | | I-GET is a programming language that encompasses language constructs that automate the implementation of commonly recurring programming patterns in user interface development. | | | Domain-specific languages such as I-GET are domain-optimised, and in comparison with general programming languages are therefore better suited for addressing domain-related software development. |

| | Sites that users say they like best are not necessarily the sites they can use best, in contrast to application software where users like best the software they can use best. | | | Animation may attract attention in ads, but it irritates users and makes it more difficult for them to find information on a site. | | | "This is the first time anyone has taken a serious look at how well web design works, and we were all surprised that our user tests showed such unexpected results," said Jared Spool, founding principal, User Interface Engineering. |

| | In this article, Jared describes the critical relationship between current knowledge (what the user knows when they encounter the design) and target knowledge (what the user needs to know to accomplish their goal), showing the two conditions that lead to an interface users will perceive as intuitive. | | | Here at User Interface Engineering, we recognize that many people find usability labs to be valuable tools, but we have a different view. | | | It's essential for interface designers to understand the gamut of contexts that can occur, thereby ensuring they create designs that are usable no matter what's happening around the user. |
