2. Match between system and the real world
Again, let's break it into points:
- Speak the users' language
- Follow real-world conventions
For instance, icons on mobile or desktop interfaces often mimic real-world conventions.
Take the compass app on mobile phones, for example. It replicates the familiar interface of a physical compass.
Why do this?
To sidestep confusion and minimize the learning curve. This approach leads to a straightforward and user-friendly application.
