Abstract

After a short introduction to our concept of intuitive use of user interfaces we would like to invite the interdisci-plinary CHI community to discuss at least two impor-tant issues, namely: How does intuitive use and aes-thetics relate? And, does physicality enable intuitive use? In the following, we present some provoking the-ses to trigger the discussion of these questions.

Developing intuitive user interfaces by integrating users' mental models into requirements engineering
BCS-HCI '13: Proceedings of the 27th International BCS Human Computer Interaction Conference

Today, the demand for software that is 'intuitive to use' is very high. In fact, this has become a determining factor for the success of a system. However, building software that is intuitive to use is challenging. This is particularly true for small ...
Designing for intuitive use for non-human users
ACE '15: Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology

In the field of human-computer interaction the notion of intuitive use describes the extent to which a human user can subconsciously interact with a product by relying on existing knowledge from similar or identical situations. In animal-computer ...
Intuitive use of user interfaces: defining a vague concept
EPCE'07: Proceedings of the 7th international conference on Engineering psychology and cognitive ergonomics

In this paper we present a general definition of the concept 'intuitive use of user interfaces' on the basis of our current interdisciplinary work. 'Intuitive use' is regarded as a characteristic of human-machine systems. It refers to a special kind of ...
