What I Already Knew:
- Interaction focuses on vision, hearing, touch, proprioception
- Do not rely solely on color cues for important information. Labels, shapes, and images help convey and clarify information
- Sound is an important signal of interaction, used as feedback
What I Didn’t Know:
- Sensation is the detection of sensory information, what happens in the eye, skin, ear; Perception is the processing of sensory information, how we come to understand or make meaning of it, what happens in the brain
- Sensory Filtering- most information around us is ignored, we only pay attention to a small, select amount; we should design to help focus attention and process for meaning
- About 8% of males and <1% of females see color differently, experience difficulty in distinguishing colors
What I Want to Know More About:
I want to know more about how to use colors that would benefit a company and all its customers.
