[IxDA Discuss] Match options in the online test

2009-12-20 Thread naveen
Folks,

Have you ever came across a match the options/choices question in the
web-based test/assessments?

There are many ways possible for user input by allowing drag&drop,
text input or drop-down with choices. In my case size of question and
answers could be 1000 characters. Which interaction mode is most
usable and easy to understand for users?

Please share any link or comment, if you have seen this before.

Thanks!!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] pointing devices for digital TV

Chris,

I have used Freespace, Loop to browse youtube. I agree with you on
the point that it's not for everyone and not for every task. 

It is far better than traditional way selection using left-right,
up-down keys through remote control. For me and other test persons,
the living environment for enjoying the TV (relaxing on couch) and
the distance from the TV (about 4meters) were creating problems in
getting the point accurate. Some people used two hands to get the
accurate point, instead of one hand. 

Thanks!

[IxDA Discuss] pointing devices for digital TV

2009-03-02 Thread naveen
Hello,

I have been working on pointing devices for TV to access internet,
games and other services. So far I have used different devices like
Wavlt by ThinkOptics which is based on absolute pointing and Loop by
Hillchrest lab which is based on relative pointing technology.

http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/technology_news/4210433.html

As a first time experience, both appear to be great devices as
interaction is so intuitive and natural but when it comes to really
do the task like browsing videos on youtube, it sucks. I feel like
switching to normal mouse and keyboard.

I am wondering if you people also had similar experiences?

Do you think pointing technology as future for digital TV? 
Are there any other better devices for using internet on TV? Are
there any gesture based interaction products for TV?

Thank You!

[IxDA Discuss] Change layout and add features

2008-09-02 Thread Naveen Sharma
Hi All

I am working on a site where we are giving choose layout options (i.e 2
column or 3 column layout) as well as select feature options and the preview
depending on selections.

Here I would like to know, what should be the flow of information. Whether
user select layout option first, then select features and then preview or
select features and then change layout and preview.

Regards
Naveen Sharma
