Hi all,
Does anyone have any examples of web apps that use "HUDs" or "Heads-Up Displays" to give the user feedback? I'm talking a really light HUD here - basically a little rectangle that comes up in the middle of the screen after the user completes an action, says something like "Your widget has been deleted", and then fades away after a couple of seconds. The idea is to create feedback in the user's locus of attention rather than somewhere else on the page where they might not be looking. (This is where my app is failing right now - in user testing NO ONE saw my beautiful yellow bar at the top of the page after they deleted a widget.) I recall watching an Autodesk (then Alias) presentation at UPA a few years back about HUDs in their software... but I'm wondering who's using them online and if there's anything I can learn from them. (HUD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HUD_%28computer_gaming%29) Thanks, Meredith ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
