Quantitative Measures for Evaluating Human-Computer Interfaces

There currently are 4 different views on human computer interaction in measuring interactive qualities: (1) the interaction-oriented view, (2) the user-oriented view, (3) the product-oriented view and (4) the formal view. Two different possibilities of measurement within the productoriented view are introduced in this paper. Different types of user interfaces can be described and differentiated by the concept of "interaction points". Regarding to the interactive semantic of "functional interaction points" (FIPs), 4 different types of FIPs must be discriminated. Based on the concept of FIPs, the dimensions "[visual] feedback" and "interactive directness" can be quantified.
