The Way

According to Raskin (2000), the way we interact with a product, what we do, and how it responds are what define an interface. This is a good starting definition in one important respect: an interface is not something given or an entirely predefined property, but it is the dynamic interaction that actually takes place when a product meets the users. More precisely, an interface is that interaction that mediates the relation between the user and a tool explaining which approach is necessary to exploit its functions. Hence, an interface can be considered a mediating structure. A useful exemplification of a mediating structure is provided by the so-called stigmergy. Looking at the animal-animal interactions, Raskin (2000) noted that termites were able to put up their collective nest, even if they did not seem to collaborate or communicate with each other. The explanation provided by Grassé (Susi et al., 2001) is that termites do interact with each other, even if their interactions are mediated through the environment. According to the stigmergy theory, each termite acts upon the work environment, changing it in a certain way. The environment physically encodes and stores the change made upon it so that every change becomes a clue that affects a certain reaction from it. Analogously, we might claim that an interface mediates the relation between the user and a tool affording him or her to use it a certain way1. Understanding the kind of mediation involved can be fruitfully investigated from an epistemological point of view. More precisely, we claim that the process of mediating can be understood better when it is considered to be an inferential one.

The Web

The use of color is of great significance to the appearance and usability of web interfaces. However, visually impaired people have always been ignored in web interface design in terms of color scheme. Therefore, it is necessary to study their difficulties while browsing web pages and accessing to information. By means of enumerating the color barriers, this paper summarizes the principles of how to use color in the web interface design for visually impaired people. It is expected that the proposed principles would benefit such people who conduct web interface design while being aware of the needs of visually impaired people.

The article discusses methods and tools applied for wireframing of web-environment usability engineering. Modern approaches used for wireframing via web service moqups.com. are considered. In today's world, people have to spend a lot of time at the computer therefore an important factor in the user's work with the software becomes human-machine interaction. Web-interface design taking into account all the ergonomic standards is able to reduce stress and fatigue of users as well as to improve the quality of work and satisfaction. Now, when designing user interfaces, insufficient attention is paid to ergonomics and convenience. In this paper, we use an expert approach. This method allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed product when used.
