Technological innovations often rely upon user interface design to elevate their technical complexity to a usable product. Technology alone may not win user acceptance and subsequent marketability. The user experience, or how the user experiences the end product, is the key to acceptance. And that is where user interface design enters the design process. While product engineers focus on the technology, usability specialists focus on the user interface. For greatest efficiency and cost effectiveness, this working relationship is commonly maintained from the project's beginning. This being so, we provide substantially more testing of application interfaces than designs for them. When applied to computer software, application interface design is also known as user interface design or human-computer interaction (HCI). While the focus of our testing and design is related to software and computers, the term "user interface" (UI) also refers to many products where the user interacts with controls or displays. Military aircraft, vehicles, airports, audio equipment, and computer peripherals, are a few products that extensively apply UI. Optimized User Interface Design requires a systematic approach to the design process. But, to ensure optimum performance, usability testing is required. We have the experience required to provide this this empirical testing and provide data about what does work as anticipated and what does not work. Only after the resulting repairs are made can a product be deemed to have a user optimized interface. The importance of good UI design can be the difference between product acceptance and rejection in the marketplace. If end-users feel it is not easy to learn, not easy to use, or too cumbersome, an otherwise excellent product could fail. Good UI Design can make a product easy to understand and use, which results in greater user acceptance. A.S.
