The Web site is also not accessible for those with certain disabilities,
which could be a major factor in some instances.

Also - when I composed and attempted to send a message regarding my
concerns, the content was completely erased and unsuccessfully sent.

I liked this interface. Not that we have to get rid of clicking. For a
button that is still a very good interaction. 

The experiments show a few nice complimentary interactions to make
information and functionality accessible while keeping all parts in a
logical context.

We are so condition for so many years with mouse clicking to confirm our
action. Without mouse click it doesn't give user the confirmation status of
his/her action or selection.

Agree with Kumar, it might be more suitable for gestural inputs like VR,
immersive environment, where you use hand gesture to move things.

It really caused trouble when I wanna move cursor across the screen,
for example from the top to the bottom. Just too sensitive.
Unexpected results frequently occured by moving mouse.

But it's definitely a new idea which may shed light on the
interactive ways, and can be certainly improved.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Interesting interface design

2008-09-17 Thread Andreas Ringdal
I like it as a concept, but I don't think it will be usable for the
web anytime soon. The navigation elements move avay from the original
location. I wantet to click The click ergonomy and ended up on the
Click history page.

With some research and testing on mouse movements from element to
element it will become a lot better.  Right now it requires a clear
path between all the various navigation elements. 

Any thoughts regarding how to put a no click interface to use?

I'd have to agree. The lack of user control of what is displayed is
nerve-wracking. That coupled with the speed of transition, as well as
a considerable lack of clues of the 'hotspots' and their effects
makes me want to, well, click to navigate out of the interface.

I love it!

It pushes the ideas to certain boundaries.  Now manufacturers of
mouse can forgo the button altogether!

I heard from a colleague that there was a PBS documentary about
changing the paradigm of human computer interaction and it showed
many examples of exploring those ideas.

I think this site does exactly that!  I also love the recordings.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Interesting interface design

2008-09-17 Thread Evan K. Stone
 Any thoughts regarding how to put a no click interface to use?

There was one aspect of the no-click interface that worked for me: the
timed trigger button. As you hover over the button, it fills itself
with a darker color like a progress bar and then triggers when the
progress reaches the full point. It gives you a little bit of a comfort
delay instead of the  BAM! BAM! BAM! of the rest of the experience (the
first BAM! made me jump out of my seat... not fun.). 

So I guess it seems to me that a slower, more fluid approach might make
more sense, in which the interface slowly reveals something about what
is going to happen if you move to a particular region, but allows you
time to move out in case you didn't really want to do that. I move my
mouse cursor around to random spots on the screen so I could imagine
myself accidentally moving to or hovering over a region that enacted
something that I really didn't want to do.

It brings up some good questions, however.

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Interesting interface design

2008-09-17 Thread AJKock
Good Points:
1. It was interesting way of going through information

Bad Points:
1. If response after gesture takes too long, user doesn't know if he
did the right thing.
2. Two of the tests failed to load in my browser and there was no way
for me to know what to do next, because there was no feedback and no
way for me to tell the system that the test didn't load.
3. Why SHIFT+Tab and not just Tab. Actually I did use SHIFT+Tab and it
jumped but as soon as I started typing, it jumped back because my
mouse was still hovering over the first field. Device conflict?

Funny thing was, that when I left the site I found myself doing mouse-
overs on other sites and waiting for something to happen. :)

Hey,

I was about to dig out an older discussion, I didn't know there two, and the
fact that all three happens in September. Spookey...

However, I think that the concept is far more interesting in the light of
later touch-screen, multitouch and gesture technology. We might see some of
the concept come down to this.

Uncomfortable is a good word.
It isn't the navigation and not-clicking that cause it for me. It is  
the way the menus and text swirl nto view with some of the angled  
shapes that then form the background color fields.
I wonder if that transition were more subtle if it would be more  
effective.
The first couple of times I wanted to click out of a reaction to the  
design and not because I wanted to click.

It was more a clicking in visual self-defense.

I don't find it uncofortable, but there aren't any cues to let you
know what you'll get a reaction to (i.e. the equivalent of more
content on click), and what you won't. I don't miss clicking per se, I
miss knowing what's just static, and what's a hotspot. The advantage
of clicking as well is that you are making a statement that you want
the new content, not just that you happen to have moved themouse
there.
