- 52. Object Design
- 53. Affordances:to give a clue • Refers to an attribute of an object that allows people to know how to use it • e.g. a button invites pushing, a door handle affords pulling • Norman (1988) used the term to discuss the design of everyday objects • Since has been much popularised in interaction design to discuss how to design interface objects • e.g. scrollbars afford moving up and down, icons afford clicking
- 54. Physical Affordances • Physical affordances: How do the following physical objects afford? Are they obvious?
- 55. ‘Affordance’ and Interface Design? • Interfaces are virtual and do not have affordances like physical objects • Norman argues it does not make sense to talk about interfaces in terms of ‘real’ affordances • Instead interfaces are better conceptualized as ‘perceived’ affordances • Learned conventions of arbitrary mappings between action and effect at the interface • Some mappings are better than others
- 56. VirtualAffordances • Virtual affordances How do the following screen objects afford? What if you were a novice user? Would you know what to do with them?
