Why I Hate User Interface Debates
2008-09-18 18:38:00 Ah, it's another post about UI Aesthetics! Quick, let's everybody get in line to kiss up to Apple and Microsoft for giving us shiny shiny pretty. And then we'll find a couple of stray dogs and name them "Linux" and "BSD" and then we can kick them until they cower, for not having as much shiny shiny pretty. Yeah, sure, I like pretty UI as much as anybody else. Right here at my desktop guide, I show each desktop interface dolled up to its most charming. I even got some good looks out of TWM, for the luvva Mike! I draw a whole gallery of wallpapers, just because I like pretty, too. Also, because I don't know how to do more important things. Yet. But in the whole UI-debate, there's a point many people are missing out on. All computers have a finite amount of resources. All of them. Got that? This applies to every digital device from your watch to the LHC at CERN and IBM's Blue Gene. All computers have an upper limit to how much processing per time unit they can do. If this lim...

techcrunch : Single User Interface For Twitter And FriendFeed
2008-05-07 12:49:00 Note: Unless you are a Twitter and/or FriendFeed addict, this post isn?t for you.Twitter / FriendFeed desktop client Alert Thingy just released version 1.3 of the software.It is now a fully functioning client for both services (reading and writing). They?ve also added an easy Flickr uploader - just drag a photo into the application and upload it to Flickr.The thing I like most about the new version of Alert Thingy though is that you access Twitter and FriendFeed in a single window and a single interface (Twhirl, a competitor, requires two windows). That means less desktop space is used. They are also de-duping Twitter messages (since they also appear in FriendFeed), a nice touch.Switching between Alert Thingy, Twhirl and even the newer browser sidebar with similar functionality is trivially easy - there are no real switching costs. That means all of these products will be in a constant battle over features. That?s great for us users. And since Alert Thingy and Twhirl are more side p...

Mixed Reactions for New Android User Interface
2008-02-14 16:05:00 We were looking at an article on Gizmodo this morning that has a short video showing how the new SDK looks running basic functions like making a call. After watching the video, we glanced through some of the comments from readers as they reacted to how it looks. It seems like this UI is polarizing people. Either it's loved, or hated. We'd like to point out one thing. This is a bare bones developers kit, designed for people to 'sex up' however they see fit. It can be equated this way. CSS and HTML are the backbone for most websites today. It can be very basic when left alone, or it can be some of the most practical and beautiful stuff you'll encounter. It's up to the person using the basic rules and code. If you were here last week and saw the article on The Astonishing Tribe, you saw one of the companies involved in the Open Handset Alliance. TAT specifically designs user interfaces (UI) for mobile devices and their work is among the best in the world. We know we so...

Implementing a User Interface
2007-12-05 19:54:00 To give your application some "face" you will have to somehow define the UI. The Android API gives you two ways how to do it. You can write your app's UI directly in the Java code using objects and their methods or you can define it through a XML file. I guess that the most of programmers (including me) will choose the second option.The Basic units of a user interface are Views and ViewGroups. Those basic screen elements are held in a tree structure as shown on a picture below. Every View represents some screen widget (TextView, EditView, Button etc.) and every ViewGroup serves as a base class for layouts.Next time we will provide you with some examples of a simple UIs using several layouts.Source: Google Android

BLUI : A "Blowable" User Interface :)
2007-11-20 10:11:00 Here is a demo, if you can't get it go directly to youtube Well.. all you need is a microphone, and it seems to be working, really working ! It's not a hoax: a Georgia Tech student managed to create a "blowable" interface on a standard laptop. He takes an ordinary laptop (with no hardware add-ons), blows on the screen, and the laptop identifies where he blew. Seems impossible?How it works: when the screen is blown, it creates a bit of sound that the microphone picks up, Using a Fast Fourier Transform to create a vector of amplitudes and phase shifts, the system then matches a “blow” (as opposed to a click) with pre-classified vectors using k-nearest neighbor. The best vector match is used to determine where on the screen the user was blowing. During evaluation on a laptop, it was 100% accurate on a 3X3 grid, 95% accurate on a 4X4 grid, and quickly degraded after that. This is pretty good considering you’re blowing on a laptop screen. Let's say it's 3/10 for actual usefulne... |
