| MAS ETH ARCH/CAAD - 2004/05 - STUDENT PAGES Master of Advanced Studies in Architecture, Specialization in Computer Aided Architectural Design | 065-0005/6 Supervision: Prof. Dr. Ludger Hovestadt, Philipp Schaerer Chair of CAAD, ETH Zurich home | introduction | assignment The main advantage of computers is the great variety of specific tasks it can do with prompt and fast response after 'telling' the machine something. This sort of interaction is inherit in most software that is available. The interaction mainly is combined with the handling and processing of an so called input by one or multiple users. In result the user(s) receive a so called output from the computer that more or less is a processed result of the given input. If the output is combined with a direct visual feedback of the input and a simultaneous approving of validities, a interaction between man and machine can take place with e.g. always correct results out of many unpredictable combinations. eShop-systems have this sort of interaction by checking the availability e.g. of a book. Car manufacturers allow future costumers to proof check the possible combinations of accessories. For most of this interactions, a technically and ergonomically acceptable user-interface has to be created.
