WHY PHYSICAL DESIGN IS EASIER THAN HCI
DESIGN?

Physical design often deals with tangible


objects and environments, which can be easier
to conceptualize and manipulate compared to
the complexities of human-computer
interaction (HCI) design.

WHY PHYSICAL DESIGN IS EASIER THAN HCI
DESIGN?

In addition physical design, factors like size,


shape, and materials are more straightforward
to work with, whereas HCI design involves
understanding human behavior, cognition, and
emotions, which can be more abstract and
challenging to predict and accommodate.
Additionally, the rapid evolution of technology
and user preferences in HCI design adds
another layer of complexity.
Tangibility:
Design and Usability
Physical objects and environments are tangible, making it easier
WHY PHYSICAL DESIGN IS to visualize, manipulate, and test compared to abstract concepts
EASIER THAN HCI DESIGN in HCI design.

PHYSICAL DESIGN CAN BE Established Principles:


PERCEIVED AS EASIER
Physical design often relies on well-established principles of
THAN HCI (HUMAN-
design such as proportion, balance, and aesthetics, whereas HCI
COMPUTER INTERACTION) design involves understanding complex human behaviors,
DESIGN DUE TO SEVERAL cognition, and emotions.
REASONS:
Clear Constraints:

Physical design typically has clear constraints such as materials,


dimensions, and manufacturing processes, providing a more
structured framework for decision-making.
Predictability:
Design and Usability
The behavior of physical objects is more predictable compared to
WHY PHYSICAL DESIGN IS the variability and unpredictability of human interaction with
EASIER THAN HCI DESIGN technology in HCI design.

PHYSICAL DESIGN CAN BE Testing:


PERCEIVED AS EASIER
THAN HCI (HUMAN- Physical prototypes can be physically interacted with and tested
COMPUTER INTERACTION) more easily, allowing for faster iteration and refinement
compared to the iterative process required for HCI design.
DESIGN DUE TO SEVERAL
REASONS:
However, it's essential to note that both physical and HCI design
have their own challenges and complexities, and the perceived
ease may vary depending on the specific context and
requirements of the design project.
