Presentation Transcript

  1. Animation • Animated GIF • Javascript • Java • Vector animation: Flash, SVG • Shockwave • 3D

  2. Raster vs Vector • Vector: items drawn with lines • Smooth • Scaled very well • Cannot be filled with multiple colors • Raster: pixel based • 3D shading

  3. Raster vs. Vector Raster

  4. Raster vs. Vector Vector

  5. Informing the User • Provide information to user • Inform of potential load/play times • Required plugins

  6. Multimedia Information

  7. 3D for the Web • Use of 3D very limited (still) • Commonly used for product views • Very computational intensive • VRML • Shockwave

  8. Web 3D Formats

  9. Controls

  10. 3D and Performance 3D files require: • Large amounts of memory • Large amounts of bandwidth

  11. Level of Detail

  12. Successive Refinement

  13. Mpeg-4 • Future standard: Combines: • Audio • Video • Vector Graphics • 3D Graphics

  14. MPEG-4

  15. Human Representation • Means to represent virtual humans • Called avatars • Used to interact with user Typically used in online games representing: • Other users • Non-player charactures

  16. HANIM

  17. Poser

  18. Accessibility • Web should be usable by everyone This includes users with: • Vision impairments • Hearing impairments • Mobility impairments

  19. Statistics • 8 million people with visual impairments • 20 million deaf or hard-of hearing • 250,000 with spinal cord injuries • 500,000 with cerebral palsy • 330,000 with MS • More that half US population over 65 has some type of impairment

  20. Issues involving Vision • Web very visually oriented • Significant challenges • Severity ranges from total blindness to low vision • Color blindness • Visual Stimuli

  21. Information Delivery • Information display on traditional monitor not available to users with visual impairments Two assistive technologies: • Screen Readers • Refreshable Braille displays

  22. Screen readers Reads text component of web screen Includes: • Links • Menus • Dialog Boxes • Error Messages

  23. Screen Readers • Several vendors offer screen readers • Prices range from $300 to $1000 • Page must be reformatted to support screen readers • HTML “lang” attribute controls language page will be read in

  24. Refreshable Braille Display • For people who are deaf as well as blind screen readers do not work. • Translates text of page into Braille • Single line of Braille text • Prices range from $4500 to $14,500

  25. Grade II Braille

  26. Refreshable Braille Display

  27. Reformatting Text • For screen readers to work text of page must be formatted to support linear delivery • Tabular data • Label for Elements • Skip navigation • Alt Tags for images

  28. Tabular Data

  29. Markup Strategy for Tables • <table border="1"> • <thead> • <tr> • <th id="c1"> Course </th> • <th id="c2"> Time </th> • <th id="c3"> Day </th> • <th id="c4"> Prerequisiste </th> • <th id="c5"> Instructor </th> • <tr> • </thead> • <tbody> • <tr> • <td headers="c1">211</td> • <td headers="c2"> 11:30 pm -1:00 pm</td> • <td headers="c3">MW</td> • <td headers="c4">None</td> • <td headers="c5">McDonald</td> • </tr> • <tr> • <td headers="c1">211</td> • <td headers="c2"> 10:30am - 12:00 pm</td> • <td headers="c3">TR</td> • <td headers="c4">None</td> • <td headers="c5">Luecking</td> • </tr> <tr> <td headers="c1">212</td> <td headers="c2">5:45 pm &nbsp;- 9:00 pm</td> <td headers="c3">M</td> <td headers="c4">211</td> <td headers="c5">Carter</td> </tr> <tr> <td headers="c1">212</td> <td headers="c2">11:30 pm &nbsp;- 1:00pm</td> <td headers="c3">TR</td> <td headers="c4">211</td> <td headers="c5">Chan</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

  30. Label Elements of Forms • <form action="Billing Info" method="post"> • <fieldset> <legend class-"TitleLarge"><b>Billing Information</b></legend><p> • <label for="firstname">First name (required):</label> • <input id="firstname" type="text" tabindex="1"></p><p> • <label for="lastname">Last name(required): </label> • <input id="lastname" type="text" tabindex="2"></p> • </fieldset> • </form>

  31. Skip Navigation

  32. Normal Page

  33. Alt Tags(None)

  34. Alt Tags (Descriptive)

  35. Other Vision Issues • Screen Magnifiers • Color Blindness: • 8% male population • 0.5% Female population • Most common red/green • Photo Sensitive Epilepsy

  36. Color Blindness This is an Ishihara plate commonly used to check for red/green color blindness

  37. Color Blindness This is what a red/green color-blind person might see. Note that the digit (3) is practically invisible.

  38. Mobility Impairments • Conditions with affect use of keyboard and mouse • Might be difficult, Might be impossible • Predictive typing • Speech recognition • Alternative input technology

  39. Hearing Impairments Few more issues: • Captioned media • Open or Closed captioning • American Sign Language

  40. Web Accessibility Initiative • Promote usability for people with disabilities • Goal of Universal Access • Set of guidelines which address 2 themes: • Graceful Translation • Make content understandable and navigable

  41. Web Accessibility Initiative Guidelines

  42. Globalization • Web is growing all over world • Number of Non English speaking users rapidly increasing • Usability issues involve use of language and culture • This processes is called globalization

  43. Global User Population

  44. Internationalization • Internationalization single design used world wide • Simpler text • Unambiguous display of number, currency, dates, and times • Isolate and remove culturally specific language

  45. Localization • Added cultural context • Translation of web page into local language • Relevant content

  46. Text and Translation • Translation: human or automatic? • Attention to writing style • Expression of dates, times • Express currency in local terms • Label units of measurements

  47. Languages Can Expand Labels

  48. Page Layout • Unicode for character support • Color issues • Icon issues (including flags) • Text Alignment (left vs. right)

  49. International User Testing • International and local sites need user testing • More involved than traditional • Test success of translation • International Inspection as alternative • Difficulties dues to language gap

  50. Personalization • Strategy for gaining competitive advantage • Added service for a user • Speeds task completion (I-Click) • Can require login • Cookies • Dynamic
