"This book takes the readers through different stages of the user interface, from tracing its history to bridging the gap from user requirements to design to UIDs built for programmers. It also focuses on the visual interface design, to defining the patterns used as tools for the user interface. It depicts the importance of communication and languages to further defining the challenges and opportunities and the role of UIDs in the coming year. This book sheds light on several aspects of the user interface, such as the history, the golden rules, the levels, how it connects users to designs, and the different methods to do so. It also discusses the interaction between a human and a computer, along with defining the prototyping, the color theory, to patterns. The later chapters give an insight into how visual communication is vital to make conversational interface design. The problems and opportunities and the use of Ul in the future. The first chapter stresses the basic overview of the user interface so that the readers are clear about the philosophies behind that form the utmost basics in the field. This chapter will also emphasize the history and sheds light on several aspects of user interface such as the history, its different types, how humanity came back to computing, the golden rules of designs used in a user interface, and the various levels of designs marking from visceral, behavioral and then going towards reflective level. The second chapter takes the readers through the concepts of user requirements and the bridge built between user requirements and designs, between designers and engineers, designs and developments along with defining the problems faced in creating these bridges and how they can be overcome by maintaining communication and applying other methods. This chapter will provide highlights on the various key problems that are faced during bridging, the limitations and restrictions which come with bridging. The third chapter deals with the user interface design for programmers, along with defining the various user interface principles. It signifies the hunan and computer interaction, and tells about the prototyping in the user interface. It mentions the usable design, the UI design process, and the importance of user interface tools for programmers. It also tells about the evaluation of user interfaces. The fourth chapter introduces the readers to visual design in aesthetic and strategic design. The different visual elements in UI design, the five fundamental elements of interface design, the essential user interface design tips, the principles of visual design. This chapter also denotes the applying color theory to digital displays. It's designing for senior citizens and creating a UX design style guide. The fifth chapter throws light on how patterns are used as tools for UID and how design patterns are considered as such powerful designs. This chapter also illustrates the user experience design patterns, from defining the importance of UX patterns to dark patterns that are used in a user interface. The sixth chapter takes the readers through the concept of languages and communications, the characteristics of language. The readers are then told about how communication is associated with visuals. It explains the conversational interface designs, how a visual language is built, and then tells the reader why should they invest in a visual language. The seventh chapter explains the challenges and opportunities that prevail in a user interface, the basics of UID, and the literature review. It also lays out the challenges that are faced by UX designers. This chapter also emphasizes the biggest challenge in design, the user interface challenges, and common problems with the UX process. The last chapter of this book sheds light on the future of user interface design, the current state of UI design, the establishment of voice user interface and accessibility, how artificial intelligence will disrupt UI design, the trends, and prophecies of UI design. It also compares the past, present, and future of UL. This chapter also mentions the evolution of interfaces, along with describing the future UI trends, then the impacts of UID on everyday life, the future of UX and UI design. It tells the reader about the brain, that is, the computer interface, then the two types of interfaces, telepresence, and lastly, the modern UI 2020. This book has been designed to suit the knowledge and pursuit of the researcher and scholars and to empower them with various dimensions of User interface design from its history to how it is used in the present time and eventually what it will bring in the coming years so that they are updated with the information. I hope that the readers find the book explanatory and insightful and that this book is referred by scholars across various fields." -- Provided by publisher
