- Description:
- New interface technologies like Flash, Ajax and Silverlight enable a new breed of rich-applications that merge animation with interactivity. This panel considers from two angles: technically, what can be done with this new software, and how should we re-think traditional UI and HCI design theories because of them.
- Questions
Answered: -
- What has the early days of Flash and Ajax taught us about the future of motion in interface design? As sites like SkipIntro demonstrate, motion is often poorly combined into interfaces, but how can it be done well?
- What are the advantages & disadvantages of Ajax, Silverlight, Flash with Papervision3D, Processing, and other animated interactivity software?
- Specifically, what can be done with these new technologies that makes a difference to interface designers?
- How do programmers work with animators and filmmakers, and how is this different than working with Photoshop designers?
- What problems does motion solve that static interfaces had difficulty with?
- What should a Motion User Interface feel like?
- How can we apply User Interface theories by people such as Brenda Laurel, Tufte, Jakob Nielsen, IBM or Donald Norman to interfaces that move?
- How does motion for interface and applications differ from motion for content like on YouTube or television?
- Where are the best examples of motion user interface design?
- What does the convergence of digital filmmaking and web user interface mean for the world’s two most popular mediums: television and the internet?
