Normally to design an interface for kids, the interface need to be more attractive and decorative.
We can not use simple components, we need to are attractive components and devices so that kids feel more attracted towards the interface.
Lets say suppose, we want to have interface to teach simple mathematical operations to kids.
In this interface, kids need to enter different input numbers to perform basic mathematical operation.
Ideally, to enter numbers, we can use keyboard, rather than entering number, it is always better to select input numbers.
- For selecting different icons or components the best device will be "Touch Screen"
Advantages (pros) of touch screen :
Touch screen possess a direct relationship between hand and pointer moment in terms of direction, distance and speed.
The movement is s next, not distinct because the control (finger or styles) is on the same plane as the pointer.
Another significant advantage of a touch screen is that it does not require any additional desks space.
It also stands up well in high use environments.
Disadvantages (cons) of touchscreen :
Finger may obscure part of a screen.
Finger may be too large for accuracy with small objects.
It requires moving hand far from the keyboard to use.
A disadvantage of touchscreen is that they are fatiguing to use an extended period of time.
Fingers may soil the screen, and a stylus may damage id.
