Human/Computer Interface and Interaction Report: Walmart Analysis

This report analyzes the Human/Computer Interface (HCI) and interaction design for Walmart, focusing on UI screen design elements such as splash screens and interactive icons. The report explores the use of fingerprint authentication for secure payment processing and order delivery, enhancing user experience and security. It also discusses the importance of digital supply chain improvements, particularly utilizing IoT devices in logistics and warehousing to boost performance and reduce operational costs. The report includes an evaluation of a classmate's work, highlighting the strengths of the interface design and interaction planning. References include academic sources related to user interface design and accountability.

Icons:
First Icon: The first icon can be the name of the organization, wall mart. The icon will be
designed using an icon creator adobe illustrator which can generate SVG document. This will
allow designer to use the logo in every interface without losing the quality. The first, inactive
state, of the logo will be dark coloured text. This state will be active until the user either clicks or
hover on the icon. In the active state, icon will change text colour to a darker shade. The active
state starts when the user clicks on the icon. In case the user hover on the icon, the focused state
initiates. In this state, the icon will have a little lighter shadow than text.
Second Icon: The second icon is the official logo of Walmart. This logo will be also a
SVG file. The background of the logo will be transparent so that logo presented properly in
every background without losing the quality of design. In the non-active state, the icon will have
only outline colour. For the focused and active state, the icon will fill will contrasting colour in
comparison with outline.
Emerging Technologies of I/O Devices:
Fingerprint: In order to secure the payment processing and order delivery, the
organization can implementing fingerprint authentication. The application will confirm
transaction or product purchase once the customer enter stored fingerprint pattern. The
fingerprint scanner of mobile device can be used for this purpose. The delivery person will have
a fingerprint scanner which can scan the fingerprint of the customer. If customer chose to
Delivery to Ordered only then this method can be applied. Or the system can use fingerprint
instead of digital signature of customer upon delivery.

Digital Supply Chain: Any e-commerce organization needs to improve its delivery to be
competitive in the market. As big organizations like Walmart needs to deliver a lot of products to
the customers. Handling so much delivery can be a burden to the supply chain of the
organization. Specializing in utilizing the IoT devices in logistics and warehousing can really
boost the performance of the supply chain as well as save operational cost of the organization.
Substantive Comments:
The job done by the first classmate was very promising. The elements of the interface are
well positioned. Each information is clearly visible. The buttons are information are shown in
every required section. The interface also provide hints. The interaction has been planned well.
