Theoretical+Concept+Analysis

=__**Theoretical Concept Analysis**__=  Touch n’ Ride will implement many theoretical concepts analyzed in //Introduction to Computer Visualization, //as well as the concepts throughout the text //Information Visualization – perception for design //. The theoretical concepts that will be explored and implemented is visual context such as resolutions, display, brightness, contrast, light, colour, perception, movement patterns and visual interaction. __ //Environment, Resolution and Display// __  Theoretical concepts considered while designing this interface is the environment, resolution and display. It is important to understand that the interface will be located at different environmental settings. while some interfaces will be located inside the shelters others would be located outside. The screen will have light sensitive receptors which will control the visualization of the content __ //Lightness, Brightness and Contrast// __  A very important feature of Touch n' Ride will incorporate the concept of //Lightness, Brightness and Contrast. //Touch n’ Ride will have a light sensor, which will automatically adjust the lightness, brightness and contrast depending on the amount of natural sunlight that there might be. This feature will work well in daylight, and night-time, as these four concepts will get adjusted based on the amount of light that is present. __ //Colour, Perception and Static & Movement Patterns// __  The colours used for Touch n’ Ride throughout, are the same colours used in the Mississauga Transit System. All Mississauga residents are familiar with the orange and white used for the Mississauga Transit. The logo also consists of the same symbol and colour, as viewing this device from far away, will also let individuals know that this is part of the Mississauga Transit System. Consistency is very important for visualization, as it attractive to the eye, draws individuals towards a specific product, as well as keeps everything looking uniform. The screen display will integrate the elements of smooth transition to allow a continuos flow of information, enabling excellent usability for all types of users to adapt to quickly. __ //Visual Interaction// __  The interface of this device will consist of a touch screen display, as evident from the name “Touch n’ Ride”. Navigation is very simple, as the user has to simply touch the device to activate it, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
