What do your users really see: the science behind user interface design
summary
Explains how vision science changes UI choices with concrete demos and apps: optical illusions show color is relative so avoid bright signaling colors; the basketball video (about 13 passes, ~20s) and quick slides demonstrate inattentional blindness; shapes and translucency beat verbose text in a 2008 contacts and cattle‑management app; progressive disclosure and a workflow screen reduce errors by using recognition over recall; real failures include a CVS screenshot, airline “start over” button and elevator button misuses that caused predictable user mistakes.
