Abstract

This chapter discusses the Color, Prototyping and Navigation, Principles and Guidelines Design, Evaluation and Testing, and Task Analysis pertaining to the new smart technology design. These are vital aspects of design that must be taken into account by the designers and HCI experts, by integrating these aspects in the new smart technology design, the new device, user interface, and website will meet the needs of users, the community, and society in general. Therefore, if all these design considerations are taken into account, users will have full control of their devices without any frustration and irritation as users have the opportunity to evaluate and test them in order to meet their needs. Moreover, designers and HCI experts should consider these aspects in their new smart technology design to ensure their new design is in accordance with sustainability principles.
