Chinese Game-Translation machine In the world, there are so many different languages that have been developed for a couple of thousand years. It is important for people because it make people who contact with each other. Thought the language, people could understand what they want and what they think; therefore, language is important. For my concept, I will use a language to communicate with people such as Chinese to English. Though my concept, I will design a product which combine with interactive and user interface design.
Introduction
First of all, UI is important for communication because it make players who know how control the machine. When people control the machine they should touch the icon first. Though the icon design, it will offer some information for users who will know how to control the machine. Therefore, icons are import for interactive design because it indicates some meaning. Second, UI system makes users who control machine easily. For my concept, there are six different icons which are live translation, English, Chinese, professional words, menu, and setting. Though those, users can choice they want and translate some words at same time. Finally, each icon will create a system that will make users who use the translated machine easily and comfortable. For most people, they don’t know how to type words; therefore, if UI can be designed easily by people, it will make people to like using translated machine.
