Minimalist and Intuitive User Interface Design Guidelines for Consumer Electronics Devices

Abstract

People today come in contact with many consumer electronics (CE) devices in their daily lives. CE devices have become increasingly complex with added functionality; devices from different vendors provide different user interfaces for the same functionality; similar devices from the same vendor provide different user interfaces for common functionality. As a result, usability of CE devices has become a serious challenge for most users. In this paper, we put forth design guidelines for making user interfaces for CE devices easy to understand for most everyday users.
