Week 3

1) What is visibility space in the interface

A user interface is only valued when the user interactions achieve their purpose. The first element of user interaction is what the user sees in the interface. Visibility is all about how clearly the user sees the state of the interface and all the possible actions. If the users cannot “see” how to use the interface, it is not adhering to the visibility principle of user interface design.


Good visibility is designed with everything positioned in a way that can be easily found and used

2) Percentage of the usability interface

Redesigning user interfaces on the basis of user testing can substantially improve usability. In four case studies, the median improvement in overall usability was 165% from the first to the last iteration, and the median improvement per iteration was 38%. Iterating through at least three versions of the interface is recommended, since some usability metrics may decrease in some versions if a redesign has focused on improving other parameters.
