Usability Review Session at MindCamp 2.0

1. Vista.

  * Mostly looking at the file dialogue.
  * New features include back button and breadcrumbs.
  * Also file attributes and tags.
  * Some neat new UI.
  * More exposed UI features
  * Trying to keep it more consistent and accessible.

2. Can’t talk about this UI because they haven’t launched yet.

3. eBusiness Applications AJAX Components.

  * should the following screencasts again cuz I couldn’t get Wifi
  * Master Detail or Drill Down Pattern
  * Inline Editing Pattern and Real-Time Saving
  * Copy and Paste Pattern
  * Alexei took a bunch of notes he’ll post later

4. Real Arcade

  * design wire frame mockups in blakc and white for layout
  * then change design elements, graphic highlights, colors, images ( same layout)
  * people read websites in an F pattern
  * used tabs because they’re common UI conventions
  * had menu design constrains due to business partnerships with advertisers
  * target audience is middle aged women
  * can’t make UI screen size any smaller
  * list menu on right hand size has image buffer to accomodate for internationalization

*AGAIN ROUGH NOTES*
