Which of the following statements are benefits of interface metaphors? (You may select more than one answer)
Makes learning new systems easier
Helps users understand the underlying conceptual model

There were originally only four interaction types, which of the following was the interaction type that was added later on?
Instructing
Conversing
Manipulating
Exploring
Responding
This interaction type is where users instruct a system and tell it what to do.
Instructing
Conversing
Manipulating
Exploring
Responding
This interaction type has an underlying model of having a conversation with another human.
Instructing
Conversing
Manipulating
Exploring
Responding
This interaction type involves dragging, selecting, opening, closing and zooming actions on virtual objects
Instructing
Conversing
Manipulating
Exploring
Responding
This interaction type is when users can explore aspects of a virtual 3D environment and physical environments can also be embedded with sensors that when detect the presence of someone will trigger digital or physical events to happen
Instructing
Conversing
Manipulating
Exploring
Responding
This interaction type is when the system takes the initiative to alert user to something that it “thinks” is of interest
Instructing
Conversing
Manipulating
Exploring
Responding
Which of the following statements could be an example of the Interaction Type: Responding
User’s fitness tracker notifies them of a milestone reached
In a museum, users point their phones at the works of art, and text, a virtual guide, or an animated experience is displayed in front of them. This allows them to not depend on a guided tour and to design a personalized visit
Ring Fit Adventure game comes with two physical components: the Ring-Con, a Pilates ring that the user holds and one Joy-Con slots into, and a Leg Strap, a piece of fabric affixed to the user's leg that holds the other Joy-Con
Creating a new file, duplicating a file, saving a file
Alexa is Amazon's voice AI. Alexa can play your favorite song, read the latest headlines, dim the lights in your living room, and more by giving it a voice command

What are the three core properties of Direct Manipulation?
Continuous representation of objects and actions of interest
Physical actions and button pressing instead of issuing commands with complex syntax
Rapid reversible actions with immediate feedback on object of interest
Intermittent users can retain operational concepts over time
Direct manipulation is good for ‘doing’ types of tasks, for example, designing, drawing, flying, driving, or sizing windows.
