SketchiXML: A Design Tool for Informal User Interface Rapid Prototyping
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sketching consists of a widely practiced activity during early design phases of product in general and for user interface development in particular in order to convey informal specifications of the interface before actually implementing it. It is quite interesting to observe that designers as well as end users have abilities to sketch parts or whole of the final user interface they want, while discussing the advantages and shortcomings. SketchiXML consists of a multiplatform multi-agent interactive application that enables designers, developers, or even end users to sketch user interfaces with different levels of details and support for different contexts of use. The results of the sketching are then analyzed to produce interface specifications independently of any context, including user and platform. These specifications are exploited to progressively produce one or several interfaces, for one or many users, platforms, and environments.

متن کاملSchemebuilder Mechatronics
Schemebuilder Mechatronics is a software tool under the Schemebuilder platform for Computer Aided Conceptual Design (CACD). It has a powerful design knowledge representation which enables designs to be synthesised by interacting via a graphical user interface with the knowledge base. Because design knowledge may be easily and flexibly represented, design reuse and communication of ideas are enh...
متن کاملA Sketching Tool for Designing Anyuser, Anyplatform, Anywhere User Interfaces
Sketching activities are widely adopted during early design phases of user interface development to convey informal specifications of the interface presentation and dialog. Designers or even end users can sketch some or all of the future interface they want. With the ever increasing availability of different computing platforms, a need arises to continuously support sketching across these platf...
متن کاملGUInform: Interactive Fiction for GUI Prototyping
There are many methods of rapidly prototyping a graphical user interface (GUI), the most prominent being paper prototyping and wireframe prototyping. In paper prototyping, the developer creates a physical GUI prototype using simple materials such as paper, pencils, and tabbed cards. Paper prototyping, while easy to implement, leads to unrealistic and awkward user interaction. Wireframe prototyp...
