 IAHCID will provide the human-computer interface design team with rapid accessibility to the enormous array of design data that currently exists, and has the capability of filtering and tailoring these data for specific design projects. The anticipated initial application is by the Naval Surface Warfare Center to the design of the weapons control systems for the Tactical Missiles. It is being designed, as well, for application to the interface design for commercial systems. As an interface is being designed from components, IAHCID will advise the designer on all aspects of the design by incorporating knowledge of basic human-computer interaction principles and the results of many years of research on the application of those principles.
The advisor will be capable of learning, so that relevant advice can be provided during an iterative HCI design process, where the results of usability testing are incorporated in the design. It will also consider user-specified constraints on the design, such as the availability of a speech synthesis and recognition capability. IACID will assist the HCI designer in task analysis and selection and layout of specific HCI elements, interactively leading the user through the logical steps of the design process, ensuring that all of the required information elements are represented, and supporting the designers' creative and evaluative activities with new and powerful tools.
