此后,以UI為主題的設計類網站層出不窮。我當時對UI其實并不太感興趣,認為與我從事的是兩個路子,但每天看到、聽到的討論又不得不去了解相關知識。從概念角度推敲,當時所有軟件UI從業者所做的,都應該是Graphical user interface,簡稱GUI,僅僅只是UI的一個分支。所以,我后來特納悶,為什么沒有Web user interface?也可以簡稱WUI。
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface A graphical user interface or GUI is a type of user interface item that allows people to interact with programs in more ways than typing such as computers; hand-held devices such as MP3 Players, Portable Media Players or Gaming devices; household appliances and office equipment with images rather than text commands.
http://mashable.com/2009/01/09/user-experience-design/ It’s not uncommon to confuse “user experience” with “user interface” — after all it’s a big part of what users interact with while experiencing digital products and services. But the UI is just one piece of the puzzle.
