Scout：通过高级设计约束快速探索界面布局方案
Scout: Rapid Exploration of Interface Layout Alternatives through High-Level Design Constraints
摘要：
虽然探索替代方案是创建更好的界面设计的基础，但当前创建替代方案的过程通常是手动的，限制了设计师可以探索的替代方案。我们提出了侦察，一个系统，帮助设计师快速探索的替代方案，通过混合主动互动与高层次的约束和设计反馈。现有的基于约束的布局系统使用低级空间约束，并且通常产生单个设计。为了支持设计人员对备选方案的探索，Scout引入了基于设计概念的高级约束（例如，语义结构、强调、顺序），并将它们形式化为求解器用于生成潜在布局的低级空间约束。在对18名界面设计师的评估中，我们发现Scout：（1）帮助设计师创建空间上更多样化的布局，其质量与使用基线工具创建的布局相似;（2）可以帮助设计师避免线性设计过程，并快速构思他们认为自己不会想到的布局。
英文摘要：
Although exploring alternatives is fundamental to creating better interface designs, current processes for creating alternatives are generally manual, limiting the alternatives a designer can explore. We present Scout, a system that helps designers rapidly explore alternatives through mixed-initiative interaction with high-level constraints and design feedback. Prior constraint-based layout systems use low-level spatial constraints and generally produce a single design. Tosupport designer exploration of alternatives, Scout introduces high-level constraints based on design concepts (e.g.,~semantic structure, emphasis, order) and formalizes them into low-level spatial constraints that a solver uses to generate potential layouts. In an evaluation with 18 interface designers, we found that Scout: (1) helps designers create more spatially diverse layouts with similar quality to those created with a baseline tool and (2) can help designers avoid a linear design process and quickly ideate layouts they do not believe they would have thought of on their own.
