GUI - Graphical user interface Where is used? What is an Interaction Design?

WIMP standard W: Window(s) I: Icon(s) M: Menu(s); Mouse/Mice (rarely) (note that mice are a subset of pointing devices) P: Pointing device(s); Pointing; Pointer(s) (note that the term "pointer" is often used as a synonym for mouse cursor); Pull-down menu(s) (note that pull-down menus can be thought of as a subset of menus)cursor WIMP interaction was developed at Xerox PARC in 1973) and popularized by the Macintosh computer in 1984.Xerox PARCMacintosh

GOMS standard An approach to human computer interaction observation developed in 1983 by Stuart Card, Thomas P. Moran and Allen Newell Goals - what the user intends to accomplish.
