We believe that navigation in information spaces is best supported by tapping into our natural spatial and geographic ways of thinking. To this end, we are developing a new computer interface model called Pad. The ongoing Pad project uses a spatial metaphor for computer interface design.
Chapter 1, “Background,” explains the nature of interfaces, keeping things simple, human-centered design, interface building tools, and where interface design fits into the design cycle. This chapter is brief but sets the stage for Raskin's approach to a humane interface.
He also demonstrates how design ideas must be built on a scientific basis, presenting just enough cognitive psychology to link the interface of the future to the experimental evidence and to...

This unique guide to interactive system design reflects the experience and vision of Jef Raskin, the creator of the Apple Macintosh project. Other books may show how to use today's widgets and interface ideas effectively.
This unique guide to interactive system design reflects the experience and vision of Jef Raskin, the creator of the Apple Macintosh, and demonstrates that many current interface paradigms are dead ends, and that to make computers significantly easier to use requires new approaches.
Oct 1, 2002 · TLDR. The goal of this paper is to explain how an interactive system can incorporates searchbased intelligent behavior while still respecting well-established rules for effective user interaction. Expand. 10. PDF. 1 Excerpt. Advanced visual interfaces: the focus is on the user. T. D. Mascio L. Tarantino. Computer Science.
Raskin reveals the fundamental design failures at the root of the problems so many users experience; shows how to understand user interfaces scientifically and quantitatively; and introduces fundamental principles that should underlie any next-generation user interface.
