Assignment 02 HCI

This document outlines an assignment for a Human Computer Interaction class to design a user-centered system. Students are instructed to choose a target user group - either children ages 4-5 or teenagers - and analyze the users' needs to design an application tailored to their requirements and preferences. The assignment aims to help students apply user-centered design principles and consider how to make systems more accessible and helpful for different types of people. Students will analyze user models, identify local impacts of technology, and design problem solutions that validate with both hardware and software elements.

To Design A System Based On User-Centered Approach


1. Aim: To design a system based on user-centered approach
2. Objectives: From this experiment, you will be able to,
 To bring out the creativity in each student – build innovative applications that are user
friendly.
 To motivate students to apply HCI in their day–to–day activities
3. Outcomes: You will be able,
 To analyze user models and develop user centric interfaces
 To analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and
society.
 To engage in life-long learning development and higher studies.
 To understand, identify, analyze and design the problem, implement and validate the
solution including both hardware and software.
4. Hardware / Software Required: Any tool or technology can be used for implementation e.g.,
VB, DOTNET, JAVA, PHP, etc.
5. Theory: “Computer System Design is the process that consists of a user-oriented approach
where all meaningful activities are systematically framed together and utmost importance is
given to the person who is going to use that system”
Following are the activities involved in design process:
 Understanding user requirements.
 Understanding purpose of the user.
 Understanding the work environments.
In Human Machine Interface, we should make a conscious effort to consider humanity. Here the
major focus is to design system based on user centered approach. The other alternate is system-
centered approach in which importance is given on performance of system.
6. Procedure:
Know your client: Develop the interfaces for the following categories by understanding the user who
will be using your system. Comment on the category of user selected and specific features given for
the users and identify what kinds of interfaces will they like and why?
a. Children (4-5 years of age): An application to teach mathematics.
 Perform analysis of children behavior e.g. their preferences, interests etc.
b. Teenagers: Design a digital diary for young teens to help them overcome various social
pressures they deal with during their teen years. The diary should also be like a self help tool
which would help them deal with incidents like bullying, peer pressure, etc. This is an open
project and you can think in any direction to make the children sail through their teen years while
trying to discover life around them.
 Perform analysis of teenagers e.g. their problems, interests, needs, etc.

Submission Deadline: 19th Apr, 2021 (01:00pm)
