Question

A quick quiz


Morning all, here's a test for all your host's.

I've been reading up on Fitz Law at college and It seems that not many people know about it in the general public and most business's dont make use of it at all. So lets do a quick quiz!

DO NOT USE WIKI / GOOGLE TO FIND AN ANSWER. (Be honest!)

+ Question 1: What is Fitz Law / HCI?

(Only answer question 2 & 3 if you answer question 1)

+ Question 2: Have you used / applied it to your business.
+ Question 3: How has HCI helped / boosted your business?

I look forward to seeing your answers.

Regards

Joe

OK Jwebhost,

My turn for a quiz? Are you a Physiology student? Or are you an IT guy?

Just curious!?

My guess is that Fitt's Law deals with human interaction and ergonomics? An example might be how fast you can move a mouse to a location and click on an object?

Fair enough.

And yes you've nailed it on the head. It's what most people would call in an unprofessional and indirect way - 'user-friendly'.

It's what makes things attractive to people. Such as navigation menu's on a web site. (Colours, shapes, distance ect. and how people interact with it)

So I guess most people make use of it, they design websites that look and feel good. OK maybe not directly, but they are indirectly making use of it. Is that correct, how many points do I get?
