Tasks given

: Graph y= 1/2x -> look at table –> go back and edit function to y=1/2x^2 –> find minimum of graph

Questions

: Colors and buttons how they thought

Comments and Suggestions 

: Curtis – blue behind d-grey is hard to see

–  top buttons below the screen don’t look like buttons

–  yellow d-pad is confusing at first

: Levi – likes Color coordination

– ” easier to see this”, “it’s much easier to see the color differences”

–  blue is hard to see

–  like the text size difference

–  blue on dark grey is hard to read

–  less buttons cause text is bigger

–  makes sense with everything on the button

Findings

: functions should be more explicit –e.g. finding a minimum

: change “Vari” to ” X….”

: make lighter colors to have more contrast –e.g. make dark grey lighter

 

Paper Analysis #2

Same tasks as Paper Analysis #1

results

– buttons that were made lighter aided in seeing writing on buttons

-the variables button was more visible after changing to “X,T,o,n”

-more explicit commands (ex. finding minimum) aided user in knowing how to follow out commands

-“easier if finding minimum read, ‘right of minimum’ instead of ‘right of curve.'” – Levi

E-Ink research

Posted on by Jess Park

E Ink (electronic ink) is a popular type of electronic paper display technology, characterized by high visibility and contrast, a wide viewing angle and low power requirements. The technology has been commercialized by the E Ink Corporation, which was co-founded in 1997 by MIT undergraduates J.D. Albert & Barrett Comiskey, MIT Media Lab professor Joseph Jacobson, Jerome Rubin and Russ Wilcox.

It is currently available commercially in grayscale and color and is commonly used in mobile devices such as e-readers, and, to a lesser extent, digital signage, mobile phones, smartwatches, electronic shelf labels and architecture panels.

E Ink is processed into a film for integration into electronic displays and has enabled novel applications in phones, watches, magazines, wearables and e-readers, etc. Advantages of E Ink include low power usage, flexibility, durability and ruggedness and better readability under direct sunlight. Given these properties, E Ink displays can be used for a broad range of surfaces and solutions.
