Lecture 5—User Experience, Human–Computer Interaction, and UI

The user interface (UI) is the part of the VR system with which the human user comes in direct contact. It is a part of the system that can have the most direct impact on the perception of the system and their ability to interact with it. Designing a good UI quite often is a very difficult task. Well-designed UI will often go unnoticed by users, as it follows the user’s expectations and integrates seamlessly into his workflow. A badly designed UI can have a detrimental effect on the user experience.
