Scenario

Computer applications that run on  desktop and laptop computers have, for a long time, been designed to be  driven by dragging and clicking a mouse. With the introduction of tablet  personal computers, the trend has shifted toward using touch-based  screens. We now have access to touch-based TVs, touch-based monitors,  touch-based laptops, and touch-based tablets. Touch and multi-touch  devices provide end users with the ability to interact physically with  an application much more naturally. Imagine that you are the Information  Technology Director of a major chain restaurant, and you have been  assigned to design a menu ordering application that can run on all  devices. Examine whether using a touch-screen monitor, a tablet, or a  mouse to select menu items to place an order would be most efficient.  Speculate how employees would interact with these devices and the type  of emotional reaction that customers and employees will experience while  placing a beverage, appetizer, or entrée order. 

Instructions

Write a 4–5 page paper in which you: 

1. Differentiate between the interaction types and styles that apply to multi-touch screens and applications running on them.
2. Determine the conceptual model that you would use when designing a product for your restaurant.
3. Describe the key analogies and concepts these monitors expose to  users, including the task-domain objects users manipulate on the screen.
4. Determine one utility or tool in an application for touch-based  and mouse-driven screens that should be designed with memory retention  or recall. Provide a rationale for your response.
5. Use at least three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources. You may use the resources above or others of your choosing.
