Virtual lab IITG

Is Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati offers facility of Virtual lab? If yes then please provide me images of the Institute of Technology Guwahati offers facility of Virtual lab? Also provide me list of faculties at its Virtual lab?

Can you tell me in detail about the Virtual Lab - Creative Design, Prototyping & Experiential Simulation Lab - under Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati?

[Neelu Bhasin]

Experiments in Virtual Lab - Creative Design, Prototyping & Experiential Simulation Lab - under Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati focuses on understanding the theoretical basis of decision making while designing computer screens, displays and product interfaces

These experiments aim to make students understand underlying theory of user centred interface design. A brief introduction to it, its simulation based experiments, the contributors and other supplementary resources:


1. Serial Position Effect
Refers to the effect on recall accuracy as a function of a menu item's position within a menu list


2. Weber's Law
A just noticeable difference in a stimulus is proportional to the magnitude of the original stimulus.


3. Sensitivity, Errors and Task Complexity Measurements for Pointing Devices
Measuring mouse controlling ability in terms of time and task complexity


4. Fitts Law
The time required to move a pointer to the target is a function of the target size and distance to the target.


5. Mobile Keypad Design
Design issues and usefulness of different mobile phone keypad layouts.


6. Hick Hyman's Law
The time taken to make the decision in selecting an item is proportional to the number of items presented.


7. GOMS Model
Comparison of alternative user interface designs based on GOMS model


8. Consistency and Inconsistency in Interaction
Consistency in presentation, behaviour and interaction to achieve error-free interaction


9. The Visual Coding of Information in Short Term Memory(STM)
Finding evidence that information is stored in short term memory (STM) by means of visual code.


10. Color Theory
Color theory


11. Card Sorting Technique
Interactive tool for learning and performing card sorting


12.Usability Measurement Tool for E-learning(UMTEL)
This online measurement tool consists of six simple checklists that could be used by a novice evaluater to evaluate usability level of an e-learning.


13.Prototyping of TV Remote Control Panel
This experiment teaches you to design a prototype of a TV Remote Control using the standard buttons provided.


14. Prototyping of Control Panel of Domestic Appliances
This experiment teaches you to design prototypes for Washing Machine control panel and control panel for an Induction stove.


15. Icons in Graphical User Interfaces
Icon design guidelines and design exercises.


16. Effect of Typography Design on Readibility
Effect of different font types and sizes on readability


Case Studies
Problem analysis, design methods and solutions for new typical cases.
