An Entity of Type: Metaphor107106800, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In user interface design, an interface metaphor is a set of user interface visuals, actions and procedures that exploit specific knowledge that users already have of other domains. The purpose of the interface metaphor is to give the user instantaneous knowledge about how to interact with the user interface. They are designed to be similar to physical entities but also have their own properties (e.g., desktop metaphor and web portals). They can be based on an activity, an object (skeuomorph), or a combination of both and work with users' familiar knowledge to help them understand 'the unfamiliar', and placed in the terms so the user may better understand.

  • In user interface design, an interface metaphor is a set of user interface visuals, actions and procedures that exploit specific knowledge that users already have of other domains. The purpose of the interface metaphor is to give the user instantaneous knowledge about how to interact with the user interface. They are designed to be similar to physical entities but also have their own properties (e.g., desktop metaphor and web portals). They can be based on an activity, an object (skeuomorph), or a combination of both and work with users' familiar knowledge to help them understand 'the unfamiliar', and placed in the terms so the user may better understand. An example of an interface metaphor is the file and folder analogy for the file system of an operating system. Another example is the tree view representation of a file system, as in a file manager.

  • Une métaphore d'interface est une métaphore dans laquelle l’utilisation d’une interface virtuelle reflète un processus ou une interface de la vie réelle. Parmi les métaphores d'interface les plus connues, on peut citer la métaphore du bureau. D'autres paradigmes d'interfaces sont possibles. (fr)
  • En gränssnittsmetafor är en komponent i ett användargränssnitt till en dator, som är en metafor för något som finns i den fysiska världen, och efterliknar dess funktioner. Många gränssnittsmetaforer har fått namn av fysisk kontorsutrustning. Några välkända gränssnittsmetaforer är skrivbordet, katalogen eller mappen, dokumentet, papperskorgen och den kryptografiska nyckeln. E-post påminner metaforiskt om post, med adresser och korgar. Även begrepp som webbportal är gränssnittsmetaforer. (sv)
  • 界面隐喻(Interface metaphor)是指程序設計員在用户界面设计時用大多數人所熟知的知識和術語來描述用户界面中的一系列视觉、动作和程序。用户界面會被设计成类似于現實中的物理实体。引入界面隐喻這個概念的目的是让用户能了解如何与用户界面互动,並帮助用戶更好地理解用戶界面。例如操作系统的文件系统被形象地稱為文件和文件夹。 (zh)
