Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to design and implement technologies relating to human-computer interaction.It applies to individuals who support the design, development and programming of basic digital games as part of a larger development team.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Define human-computer hardware interface devices
  • 1.1 Identify standard human-computer interaction devices
  • 1.2 Identify game-specific human-computer interaction devices and the common controls used in their implementation
2. Research common event-handling systems
  • 2.1 Identify and review industry-standard event-handling systems used in application libraries
  • 2.2 Create an application, accessing and using technologies, and showcasing captured events from hardware devices
  • 2.3 Consider the human-computer interaction device selection
3. Research commonly used graphical user interface (GUI) widget sets
  • 3.1 Identify common widgets and their usage within an application environment
  • 3.2 Identify and review industry-standard graphical user interface libraries, and their relevancy within game engine software
  • 3.3 Consider the selection of widgets within a game heads-up display (HUD)
  • 3.4 Use human-computer interface devices and event-handling call-backs in the creation of an application, showcasing the captured events with GUI widgets
4. Design a simple media software device
  • 4.1 Design a prototype for the development of a custom user interface widget to be used within a game heads up display environment
  • 4.2 Select GUI software for implementation and discuss the ramifications of the selection
5. Build and implement a simple media software device
  • 5.1 Integrate all custom widget elements, as required by the prototype specifications
