Final Plans for artefact 2

Interactivity is this key element in keeping the viewer interested. The link below is a blog entry that supports that without interactive features a website can be boring and not engage the browser.

After the first artefact I plan to take the idea of interaction in websites further by getting a group of participants to test it and answer a few specific questions on the experiment. This will hopefully produce positive data like the first artefact with accurate results.

The first page will consist of simple mouse over effects with simple Javascript and j Query.

This will use features such as a j Query gallery with simple Javascript imagery and dialogue effects.

The second will be a flash based animation and games to physically engage the audience with interaction.

The third page will consist of text using HTML and CSS. This will be the non-interactive page to test both ends of the spectrum.

The fourth will be a video and audio page this will try to see if people are tricked by consumerism instead of physical interaction.

The four page design will be followed by a unique set of questions relevant to the test. It will be also tested online with Google analytics with additional heat maps to track what the users looked at.

To summarise the structure two pages will test the two main different interactions whilst the third and fourth will test for non-interactive to see what grabs the viewer’s attention and keeps them interested.
