2.3.4 Interface design for effective communication

1. Experience

   • Games have been getting more complex, thus needing a UI that players can easily interact with

2. Age

   • the controller
     • Motion controllers have players executing real life movements
       • easier for players of all ages to grasp
     • may be harder for he much younger and much older audience to understand since it doesn't require familiar movements to execute a function

3. Environment of use

   • Designers may what to think about how much space it would need
     • games that use motion sensors to detect your movement, such as kinect typically require a lot of space to move around

4. Physical characteristics

   • vision impairments
     • contrasting colours
     • contrasting background and text
   • motion sickness
     • using virtual reality for a while can usually cause motion sickness. designers may want to think about how to prevent that

5. Task to be undertaken

   • audience/what the designer is trying to promote
     • health and fitness
     • immersion
     • problem solving
     • learning
   • audience/what the designer is trying to promote
