Synopsis

Object, View, and Interaction Design (OVID) addresses the need to improve the quality and efficiency of designing user interfaces. It applies many of the tools and techniques used in object-oriented code design to the domain of the user interface.
OVID brings rigor to the design process and produces output that feeds directly into code design. OVID helps to create interfaces that meet user requirements and are easy to use.

From the Back Cover

Object-based user interfaces allow for a more explicit mapping between the designer's model and the system. OVID was developed to help designers understand the user's models and take advantage of the new interface style. OVID focuses on three design elements: the objects that the user is aware of, views of the object, and the interactions between the user and the objects. OVID produces a set of documented tasks that detail how the objects and the views are used to accomplish tasks A case study shows how OVID streamlines the process of creating a real-world user interface. The authors also provide a glossary as well as a bibliography to help the user understand the concepts in the book and find further information.
