CEN3722 Displays Standard CEN

Author / Site: Daytona State College - Instructional Resources

Summary: This video lecture covers the topic of Displays as part of the CEN3722 Human-Computer Interaction course series at Daytona State College. It addresses standards and principles related to how information is presented visually to users through interface displays. The lecture is part of a broader set of supplemental video content spanning key HCI topics.

Relevance to Module: Displays are a foundational component of human-computer interaction, directly influencing how users perceive, process, and respond to information in interactive systems. Understanding display principles connects to topics such as perception, cognition, and human factors covered throughout this module. Effective display design also informs prototyping and usability evaluation decisions addressed elsewhere in the course.

Pedagogical Purpose

This lecture provides an instructor-led explanation of display design standards and principles, offering students a structured alternate explanation to reinforce concepts related to how interface output affects user cognition and perception. It supports MO1 by contextualizing how memory and perceptual capacities constrain effective display design, and MO2 by illustrating how poorly designed displays can create mismatches between user expectations and system behavior. It may also inform MO5 by helping students apply display design principles when constructing low-to-mid fidelity prototypes.
