Conceptual Design 

How to specify the user interface of a remote control

 

In this second design phase: the conceptual design, you, as user interface designer, have to come up with the conceptual user interface.

Remember from the explanation of the general design method (check your mail-box), the conceptual specification of the user interface of the coffee machine was: on/off switch and on/off light. The user interface of a remote control may be somewhat more complicated, however.

You are asked to:

  1. Search the web for inspiration from similar devices (go to the home page of the web browser).
  2. Put your findings down in the pre-structured PowerPoint slides, which will be send to you by e-mail.
  3. Save the PowerPoint slides in the shared folder on your desktop.
  4. Prepare your presentation for the next meeting.
