Interaction & Interface Design

In modern software it is typical for 70%-90% of the program code to be concerned with managing the user interface and user experience. Users are increasingly knowledgeable about interacting with devices and have high expectations about what can be achieved. Building software which does not match user experiences or needs is a very expensive error.

LTS has a range of methodologies at its disposal which can minimise risk in this area. We can analyse the needs and expectations of user groups, engage in rapid Development of prototypes, trial them with sample users, and identify issues. This means we can identify many issues and problems with software before a single line of code is written. We are expert at bridging the gap between technical and non-technical staff, users, developers and other stakeholders.

• Needs Analysis
• Storyboarding
• Rapid development
• Formal/Informal specification
• Deployment planning and analysis
• User evaluation and testing

These services are available across standard computer platforms (Macintosh, Unix, Windows), mobile platforms (Phones, PDAs, Games Consoles) and specialist devices.

There are now many International standards covering different aspects of interfaces, as well as Best Practice guidelines for different platforms and from different manufacturers. We are expert in these standards and guidelines and assure that our developments are compatible with them as appropriate. We constantly update our knowledge of this area as standards and Guidelines are permanently evolving.
