Distinguishable interfaces
rdfs:comment
Distinguishable interfaces use computer graphic principles to automaticallygenerate easily distinguishable appearance for computer data. Although the desktop metaphor revolutionized user interfaces, there is evidencethat a spatial layout alone does little to help in locating files and other data;distinguishable appearance is also required.Studies have shown that average users have considerable difficulty finding fileson their personal computers, even ones that they created the same day.Search engines do not always help, since it has been found that usersoften know of the existence of a file without being able to specify relevant search terms.On the contrary, people appear to incrementally search for files using some form of context.

Distinguishable interfaces use computer graphic principles to automaticallygenerate easily distinguishable appearance for computer data. Although the desktop metaphor revolutionized user interfaces, there is evidencethat a spatial layout alone does little to help in locating files and other data;distinguishable appearance is also required.Studies have shown that average users have considerable difficulty finding fileson their personal computers, even ones that they created the same day.Search engines do not always help, since it has been found that usersoften know of the existence of a file without being able to specify relevant search terms.On the contrary, people appear to incrementally search for files using some form of context. Recently researchers and web developers have argued that the problem is thelack of distinguishable appearance: in the traditional computer interface most objectsand locations appear identical. This problem rarely occurs in the real world, whereboth objects and locations generally have easily distinguishable appearance.Discriminability was one of the recommendations in the ISO 9241-12 recommendation on presentation of information on visual displays(part of the overall report on Ergonomics of Human System Interaction),however it was assumed in that report that this would be achieved by manual design of graphical symbols.
