	User interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Batch interfaces are non-interactive user interfaces, where the user specifies all the details of the batch job in advance to batch processing, and receives the output when all the processing is done.
		Gesture interfaces are graphical user interfaces which accept input in a form of hand gestures, or mouse gestures sketched with a computer mouse or a stylus.
		Telephone user interfaces, which accept input and provide output by generating telephone voice which are transported via the telephone network and heard by the user using a telephone.

	User Interface Design Tips, Techniques, and Principles
		Too many developers think that they are artistic geniuses – they do not bother to follow user interface design standards or invest the effort to make their applications usable, instead they mistakenly believe that the important thing is to make the code clever or to use a really interesting color scheme.
		First of all the more intuitive the user interface the easier it is to use, and the easier it is to use and the less expensive to use it.
		User interface-flow diagrams should optionally be developed to further your understanding of the flow of your user interface.

	Graphical user interface - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		A graphical user interface (or GUI, sometimes pronounced "gooey") is a method of interacting with a computer through a metaphor of direct manipulation of graphical images and widgets in addition to text.
		The term GUI is used to describe the user interface of most modern operating systems, although occasionally other metaphors surface, such as Microsoft Bob, 3dwm or (partially) FSV.
		Many research groups in North America and Europe are currently working on the Zooming User Interface or ZUI, which is a logical advancement on the GUI, blending some 3D movement with 2D or "2 and a half D" vectorial objects.

	Graphical user interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A graphical user interface (or GUI, often pronounced "gooey"), is a particular case of user interface for interacting with a computer which employs graphical images and widgets in addition to text to represent the information and actions available to the user.
		Many research groups in North America and Europe are currently working on the Zooming User Interface, or ZUI, which is a logical advancement on the GUI, blending some 3D movement with 2D or "2½D" vectorial objects.
		In science fiction, 3D user interfaces are often immersive environments like William Gibson's cyberspace or Neal Stephenson's metaverse.

	Graphical User Interface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The first user interface came about as a result of a discussion concerning what the user needed to know at anytime during the game.
		Our first idea was to have a side bar interface, which after its design, the team agreed would interfere with the game itself.
		The minimalist look-and-feel of these elements allows the user to be more immersed in the game yet also reveals the needed information.

		If the user agent cannot handle the first cursor of a list of cursors, it should attempt to handle the second, etc. If the user agent cannot handle any user-defined cursor, it must use the generic cursor at the end of the list.

	Cover Pages: XML Markup Languages for User Interface Definition
		Although we acknowledge the idea of splitting the interface model into a User-task model, a domain model, a user model, a presentation model and a dialog model for getting a better mapping of AIOs on CIOs, we do not consider it to be useful when focusing on runtime migration of existing user interfaces.
		The interface component describes the interaction between the user and the application using a set of abstract parts, events, and method calls that are device and application independent.
		The structure describes the organization of the parts in the interface, the style describes the presentation specific properties of each part, the content describes the information that is presented to the user, and the behavior describes user interaction with the interface in a platform-independent manner.

	INTERFACE DESIGN: User-centered design
		If your users are primarily general public browsers "surfing" the Web via dial-up modem connections, it is foolish to put huge bitmap graphics on your pages — the average modem user will not be patient enough to wait while your graphics download over the phone line.
		Users are not impressed with complexity that seems gratuitous, especially those users who may be depending on the site for timely and accurate work-related information.
		Users spend most of their time on sites other than yours, so avoid highly unusual interfaces if you wish to attract and keep a large audience.

		For this reason, the overriding design goal for the new user interface is to make it easier for people to find and use the full range of features these applications provide.
		For example, the commands for editing a chart are not relevant until a chart appears in a spreadsheet and the user is focusing on modifying it.
		The traditional dialog box interfaces are still available for those wishing a greater degree of control over the result of the operation.

	Graphical User Interface Builders
		Graphical user interface (GUI) builders are software engineering tools developed to increase the productivity of user interface (UI) development teams, and to lower the cost of UI code in both the development and maintenance phases.
		GUI builders are useful for development of complex user interfaces because they increase software development speed by providing tools to lay out screens graphically and automatically generate interface code.
		Additionally, in applications that are susceptible to continuing user interface change such as command and control applications, the use of GUI builders greatly increases the ability to add/modify user interface functionality in minimal time to support mission changes or new requirements.

		Secondly, the approach only works if generic user interface solutions are found for generally applicable, or "generic", tasks - after all, the intention is to be able to use one component for a large number of applications.
		During application development, user interface patterns are combined into application floor plans, and are arranged on the screen.
		According to Holtzblatt, the user interface should represent a focus area as a coherent whole on the screen that allows users to concentrate on it and complete their tasks there.

		This may not be important for some, but when you consider that users may want to use an application on other devices such as handheld devices or set-top boxes, it is quite useful to allow users to.
		A new XML format, called XUL (Extensible User Interface Language), pronounced Zool is on the way to re-shaping what we know about both the Internet, and desktop applications.
		Once a session has been established between a client and server, user interface events can be passed to server-side handlers; these in turn, pass back updates to the user interface.

		This document does not address operability and interface issues related to hardware characteristics (e.g., screen resolution, phosphor characteristics, workspace), which are not controlled by the developer.
		A design principle is a broad statement of a general characteristic that user interfaces should have.
		For example, to achieve a user interface that appears consistent from screen to screen, a particular project might decide that "iconic buttons should be 10 pixels from the fields above and 10 pixels from the bottom of the window" (Campbell, 1995).

	User Interface
		Interfaces that force you to jump back and forth between different style of interaction (text editing to form fill out to tabular presentation to direct manipulation) violate this sense of easy flow.
		One of the marks of a good interface is that everyone feels like they can work the way they want to, that the system does not impose any particular method of solving a problem.
		Interface design tends to fall into one of two camps- the "everything in one window" camp and the "everything in separate windows" camp.
