Title
Modeling information fit: a tool for interface design
Abstract
This demonstration illustrates a computational analysis method using information theoretic attributes to quantitatively characterize information need for task performance, as well as information conveyed by a candidate display. Once represented in this way, various computational algorithms can provide a "mismatch" analysis of the "fit" between the two. This approach has been implemented in a prototype user interface analysis tool: MAID (Multi-modal Aid for Interface Design). MAID supports user interface design and redesign in response to procedure revisions for NASA applications. MAID has been demonstrated on examples of designs for the International Space Station, Space Shuttle (both current interfaces and proposed upgrades) and for hypothetical designs for the Crew Exploration Vehicle Orion. At least one of these examples will be presented.
