“…This result suggests that participants, including both end users and designers, may prefer in terms of visual comfort, visual feedback, and widget recognition the fidelity levels that show a resemblance to the final UI. Differences observed between end users and designers are consistent with some other findings [2,8,22].…”

“…Instead, UI design is recognized as a process that is intrinsically open (new considerations may appear at any time), iterative (several cycles are needed to reach an acceptable result), and incomplete (not all required considerations are available at design time) [8]. Consequently, means to support early UI design has been extensively researched to identify appropriate techniques such as paper sketching, prototypes, mock-ups, diagrams [18].…”

“…In this way, the tool accommodates a larger variety of alternate representations for a same element. For this purpose, we based our implementation on an experimental study which reported the three most preferred representations for such UI elements [8]. Beyond this study, a gesture recognition system has been implemented based on hand gesture decomposition in order to customize the representation of all widgets, shapes, and commands according to each user's preferences (Fig.…”

Section 5 will then address the last criteria: it will exemplify how the tool could be used for other types of UI than merely web pages (like in DENIM [14]), GUIs (like in Prototyper [16] or in SketchiXML [8]). …”

Abstract. Multi-fidelity prototyping combines within a single user interface prototype several elements whose representations are reproduced with different levels of fidelity with respect to the final user interface: no fidelity at all, low fidelity, medium fidelity, and high fidelity. In order to effectively and efficiently support multi-fidelity, an original set of techniques is defined and discussed: multiple representation manipulation by sketching and gesture recognition, smooth transition between any representation at any time, prototype reusability, multi-platform support, and multiple user interface prototyping facilities. The full implementation of these techniques in prototyping software provides designers and developers with a unique environment for exploring multiple designs with unprecedented support for quickly designing interfaces from scratch or from previously existing design templates. An experimental study reveals that the multiple representation manipulation together with smooth transition represents a valuable advantage for naturally designing user interfaces. The prototyping software supports several aspects involved in the user interface development life cycle and is convenient for non-WIMP user interfaces.

Enabling the generation of web applications from mockups

et al. 2018

Mockups are widely used to elicit and validate user requirements in web applications, and several intuitive tools have been developed in recent years, actively involving the end user in the requirements solicitation process. However, most current web development approaches and tools discard mockups after the information-gathering process, abandoning the opportunity to exploit underlying information in them for autogenerating functional web applications. To overcome this limitation, we have devised a method for deriving the database schema and the logic of the web application from the information contained within mockups. In particular, the method gathers clues on how to organize the data and the control flow of the web application by analyzing the structure and relationships of the widgets in the mockup. Based on the proposed method, we have implemented a tool supporting the generation of web applications abiding by the model-view-controller architectural pattern. The tool has been evaluated by involving several end users in the development of web applications for different domains.

To cope with the ever increasing diversity of markup languages, programming languages, tool kits and interface development environments, conceptual modeling of user interfaces could bring a framework for specifying, designing, and developing user interfaces at a level of abstraction that is higher than the level where code is merely manipulated. For this purpose, a complete environment is presented based on conceptual modeling of user interfaces of information systems structured around three axes: the models that characterize a user interface from the end user's viewpoint and the specification language that allows designers to specify such interfaces, the method for developing interfaces in forward, reverse, and lateral engineering based on these models, and a suite of tools that support designers in applying the method based on the models. This environment is compatible with the Model-Driven Architecture recommendations in the sense that all models adhere to the principle of separation of concerns and are based on model transformation between the MDA levels. The models and the transformations of these models are all expressed in UsiXML (User Interface eXtensible Markup Language) and maintained in a model repository that can be accessed by the suite of tools. Thanks to this environment, it is possible to quickly develop and deploy a wide array of user interfaces for different computing platforms, for different interaction modalities, for different markup and programming languages, and for various contexts of use.
