Photographs of mindmaps showing the results of discussing the ergonomic design of the initial prototype

Our meeting posts all include parts that detail our discussions about aspects of the human-computer interaction topic.
Case studies, most discuss the practical and theoretical aspects of human computer interaction by evaluating new technologies or technologies aimed at children.

Apply HCI principles to practical problems.

Developing Personas for evaluating our design ideas
Using a questionnaires to gather information to tackle practical problems
Prototyping and solving issues with them.
Using a a range of Evaluation techniques on the prototypes

Participate in analysis and design work in HCI.

Identifying the target audience
Identifying key information about the target audience
Identifying potential ideas
Designing the final project ideas and eliminating the poor ones
Use cases
Use scenarios
Questionnaires and analysis of results
Prototyping of device
Critical appraisal

Case studies analysing new technologies and technologies aimed at children

As we have over 130 posts, it is very difficult to point you in the direction of single posts, hence why a lot of the links above are to labels covering groups of posts that cover the section. However, if we were to extensively list every post that matches the sections above, we would probably have over 60 links. Please take this into account.
