SOFTWARE APPLICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF THE BEST CONDITIONS OF HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION WITH USE OF FITTS’S AND HICK’S LAWS
Abstract
The article considers the possibilities of the software application for determination of comfort conditions of work with user interface. The search for such conditions is made using tests in accordance with Fitts’s and Hick’s laws. The algorithm and screenshots of dialog windows, presented in the article, demonstrate functional capabilities of the software application. A control element of the user interface, clicked by a user, is a «target» one. The article considers an example, where recommendations on provision of the required access time to the «target» control element were made. The software application can be used for custom settings of user interfaces of information systems for user with different level of training.
