Summary
This study integrates usability, user experience, and accessibility into a unified
Area of Science:
- Ergonomics and Human-Computer Interaction
- Human Factors Engineering
- User-Centered Design
Background:
- Usability, user experience (UX), and accessibility are crucial in ergonomics.
- Existing literature shows concerns regarding the utility of these as umbrella terms.
- A need exists for better integration and understanding of these related concepts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the definitions, methods, and outcome measures of usability, UX, and accessibility.
- To argue for the continued utility of these concepts as umbrella terms.
- To propose an integrated framework for these concepts and introduce 'interaction experience' (IX).
Main Methods:
- Analysis of definitions, methodologies, and typical outcome measures for usability, UX, and accessibility.
- Literature review and conceptual analysis.
- Proposal of a new integrated concept and a visualization method.
Main Results:
- The study provides arguments for the continued use and integration of usability, UX, and accessibility.
- A new higher-level concept, 'interaction experience' (IX), is proposed.
- Spider charts are suggested for reporting evaluation results of artefacts concerning these concepts.
Conclusions:
- Integrating usability, user experience, and accessibility enhances understanding and application in practice.
- The proposed 'interaction experience' (IX) offers a unified perspective.
- Spider charts facilitate a holistic and at-a-glance interpretation of artefact evaluation outcomes.

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

01:22Design Consideration
472
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.

01:14Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen
642
A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
2.6K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

1.5K
Light enters the eye through the cornea, a transparent, dome-shaped surface covering the surface of the eyeball that helps to direct and focus incoming light. This light is then channeled toward the pupil, an adjustable opening whose size is controlled by the iris. The iris, a pigmented muscle, regulates the amount of light entering the eye by contracting or dilating the pupil, thereby ensuring optimal light levels for clear vision.
Once through the pupil, the light passes through the lens, a...

1.9K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
