2. Explain with evidences the 5 dimensions of interaction in your interactive product.

XBOX INTERFACE

Words

Microsoft is also tweaking the games and apps library with this update. New icons for
games with trials and demos make it easier to spot them over full games, and you can also now
quickly read your top games and apps in the library. Animated GIFs and images sent from the
Xbox apps for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 can also now be viewed in conversations on an
Xbox One.
There’s four main category in 2019 Xbox that is Home, Community, OneGuide, Store
where people can select easily and if they do not know how to use the options or dashboard
there’s an category OneGuide which will guide user and give tips with pictures included that will
help user understand and be able to use better and easier.

The words represented in the dashboard are simple and easy for user to understand. The
term should be exactly conveying its role or purpose. Xbox dashboard evolution are adding a text
underneath an icon, the user would definitely read the text first and understand the action. Nothing
is quickly understandable as words. So there’s always terms and words accordingly.
 Visual Representations

Xbox one was released at 2019 and the dashboard interface design is one of the best
design till now in Xbox history the design is good with a lots of representation that user can
understand easily its very accessible and convenient to use for user.

Xbox one user can choose the light or dark theme, customize your background with game
art and select your favorite accent color. The new Home design also includes the ability to add or
remove rows to customize it further, and quick access to Xbox Game Pass, Mixer, and the
Microsoft Store.

Microsoft is also allowing Xbox One owners to customize how notifications appear on a
screen. It’s a useful feature to stop notifications blocking content and it surprisingly doesn’t exist
on Windows 10 yet. You can now choose between six different locations on the Xbox One,
which is five more than the default lower right-hand corner on Windows 10.

Physical Objects or Space

Creating good visuals is essential, but if you do not put them in the right place, they will
not have the same impact. Xbox dashboard menu is well arranged with square shape option
where it’s easy for user to see and select.

Thus, the space of the options are very clean they don’t take much space one to another
like old console interface. Everything is well grid and arranged for user to understand and select.
The size of the option became bigger whenever user selects one to another because to make user
see more clearly and focused more on bigger objects on screen rather than making it small or
same size or space with other apps .Xbox

Time

The animations, videos, sound of Xbox dashboard are kinds of elements always help the
user to engage with the product in an exciting way. Xbox main menu can use animation in success
message with a nice sound while completing a task.

Another best use of time is the progress bar animation where user can see the progress of a
particular process/operation. The smooth animations and sound when user select any option on
the main menu gives user a pleasant feel on experience that time will make every user
experienced completed. Customize your Home the look, feel, and movement of the dashboard
has been updated to focus on speed, customization, and expression for user
Behaviour

Xbox one user must have a favorite game or friend that is why there’s an option to add
them to Home. Content blocks can be added, moved, or removed as your interests or habits
change. Action, reactions, operations, presentations are good in the new Xbox one dashboard.
That’s why xbox dashboard has speed,quality and behavior that can help players get to their
needs for example user who already played a game in xbox , the previous game that user played
will reappear as a suggestion so that the user can easily get quick access on the previous game.

Words

The words and text are simple as you can see in PS4 as text beside the icon so it’s easy
for user to understand and read every option and category in PS4 menu. Such same words and
text goes for PS3 which are simple to read beside the icon there’s text and words included.
PlayStation nowadays has released PlayStation plus where user can pay for a year subscription
and they will get free games every month and access on PlayStation plus every day.

On the top right you can see beside your profile picture there will be a text of your name
and PlayStation plus logo displaying because PlayStation will focus on which user logged in the
game console. The time also will be displayed on the top right on the main menu for user to see
their time of the day. The question box message “i” logo option on the top left beside the
PlayStation store is for newly user to select and ask question or get guidelines on PlayStation
uses and instructions. Most user understand and know what the logo “i” meant for so they know
its stand for instructions, questions and guidelines on using PlayStation

Visual Representations

Upon booting up your PlayStation 4, you will be greeted with the ability to log into your
account to access your game saves and Trophies.  The library and apps on the PS4 there are
options for the PlayStation Store with notifications, Friends, Chat, and Power Options for user to
access easily.

It will present you with a list of users to log in to with that specific controller. Once you
have logged in, you will be taken to a bar where all of the core interests will lie, such as
whichever game you have in your disc drive. A list of noteworthy items will be accessible to the
user, largely dedicated to the gaming side of things. Unlike the PlayStation 3 menu interface, the
PlayStation 4 menu prioritizes the gaming and social aspects of the system. 

PlayStation evidence has that PS4 main menu is not hard to use very, easy user friendly
and straight forward. For example the store icon you go there you will see its labelled store and
everything is labeled so it’s easy to find and see locate what user wants to select.

Physical Objects or Space

Sony previewed their vision for the future PlayStation 4 User Interface that will replace
the PS3 interface menu during the PlayStation 2013 Meeting. Both the design and feel draw
parallels to the recently updated PlayStation Network Store on PS3, the web based store front,
along with the Xbox Dashboard.

The old PlayStation version such as PS3 and PS2 menu is like quite bad actually because
it’s not user friendly most user are discomfort in using the menu and its complicated to select an
option mostly must scroll up and down rather than PS4 which is a line or a row of options which
there is so much space for user to select store, library and play games.
 Time

Holding down the PlayStation button will bring up the usual suspects of options, such as
turning off the specific controller you are using, putting the device into sleep mode, or shutting
down the whole console itself. 

Quick play options will greet the first-time user who must install the selected game. This
will allow the user to take in what the game has to offer while the game downloads onto the hard
drive. In a game like Killzone and Shadow Fall, you will be given two options (Campaign or
Multiplayer) to choose which side of the game to install first, giving you initial access to that
portion while the rest downloads in the background.

The updated PlayStation Store is much like the PS3's and feels very familiar. The most
noticeable improvement to the PlayStation Store on the PS4 is that it loads much faster than on
the PS3. 

Timing is essential to take perfect screenshots. The “Easy Screenshots” feature under
[SHARE Button Control Type] in the [Sharing and Broadcasts] menu allows you to capture
images with a single click of the SHARE button. We definitely like the “Press and hold”
alternative of the “Standard” option but we find the single click one faster and more precise.

Behaviour

Moving between games or applications is a breeze via the PlayStation 4 UI with the

exception of a couple of bugs, giving gamers and media buffs a seamless way to browse through
the options on the PlayStation Home screen. The click of a button will take you from the action
of your favorite game directly to a menu to select many other options, though two applications
cannot currently run simultaneously.

Apps are not interchangeable and cannot be put in order of what you want, instead what
you are running. The web browser is leaps ahead of the PS3's browser. It's smooth, fast and a
good alternative when gaming.

Pressing Up on the DualShock 4 will bring you to another menu screen, where familiar
icons and text will greet you. Those of you who have played a PlayStation 3 will recognize many
of the options listed in these menus, but smaller, more concise text allows for more options to be
displayed on the screen at once. Everything is grouped together to avoid a frantic search for
specific system settings and options.
