为什么以人为中心的UI设计无法实现？
NOTE: This post is just speculation and brainstorming. I'm not a UX expert by any means, although I have worked in UI testing labs, run A/B tests, yada yada yada. I dabble. Also, I work for Microsoft, but on the Web and in Open Source. I use an iPhone. Those facts don't affect my ramblings here.
注意：这篇文章只是猜测和头脑风暴。 尽管我在UI测试实验室工作，运行A / B测试，yada yada yada，但无论如何我都不是UX专家。 我涉足。 另外，我为Microsoft工作，但在Web和开放源代码中。 我使用iPhone。 这些事实不影响我在这里的闲逛。
I'm just a little disappointed that 30 years later (longer of course, if you consider Xerox Alto and before, but you get the idea) and we're still all looking at grids of icons. But not just icons, icons are great. It's that the icons still represent applications. Even on my iPhone or iPad I can't have an icon that represents a document. The closest I can get is to add a URL from Mobile Safari.
30年后的我让我有些失望(当然，更长的时间，如果您考虑使用Xerox Alto和更早的版本，但是您知道了)，我们仍然都在关注图标网格。 但是不仅仅是图标，图标也很棒。 图标仍然代表应用程序。 即使在iPhone或iPad上，我也没有代表文档的图标。 我能得到的最接近的是从Mobile Safari添加URL。
After Windows 3.1, Microsoft made a big deal about trying to say that Windows was a "document-centric operating system." OS/2 Warp did similarly, except object-centric, which was rather too meta for the average business user. Bear with me here, this is old news, but it was a big deal while we were living it. They kept pushing it up through Windows 98.
在Windows 3.1之后，Microsoft尝试说Windows是“以文档为中心的操作系统”。 除了以对象为中心之外，OS / 2 Warp的工作方式与此类似，对于普通的商业用户而言，这太元了。 在这里忍受，这是个老新闻，但是当我们生活的时候这是一个很大的问题。 他们通过Windows 98不断推高它。
This document-centric approach is reflected in a number of Windows 98 features. For example, you can place new blank documents on the Desktop or in any folder window. You can access documents via the Documents menu on the Start menu. You can click a file icon and have its associated application open it, and you can define actions to be taken on a file and display those actions as options in the context menu
Windows 98的许多功能都反映了这种以文档为中心的方法。 例如，您可以在桌面或任何文件夹窗口中放置新的空白文档。 您可以通过“开始”菜单上的“文档”菜单访问文档。 您可以单击文件图标并打开其相关应用程序，然后可以定义要对文件执行的操作，并将这些操作显示为上下文菜单中的选项。
Today on the desktop we take all this for granted. Ubuntu, OS X, Windows all know (for the most part) how a document was created and let us open documents in associated programs. iOS is starting to get similar document-centric abilities, although it appears Open In is limited to 10 apps.
今天，在台式机上，我们将所有这些视为理所当然。 在大多数情况下，Ubuntu，OS X和Windows都知道如何创建文档，并让我们在关联程序中打开文档。 iOS似乎开始具有类似的以文档为中心的功能，尽管“打开方式”似乎仅限于10个应用程序。
In Windows Phone and Windows 8+ I can pin People to the Start Screen. It's a killer feature that no one talks about. In fact, Nokia recently tweeted a screenshot of a 1080p Windows Phone (I've been testing the this last month myself) and I think they made a mistake here. Rather than pinning People, Faces, Groups, Friends, Family, Co-Workers, etc, they shrunk down a bunch of ordinarily good looking icons to their most unflattering to see how many they could fit on the screen.
在Windows Phone和Windows 8+中，我可以将“人物”固定到“开始”屏幕。 这是一个没人谈论的杀手级功能。 实际上，诺基亚最近在推特上发布了1080p Windows Phone的屏幕快照(我上个月一直在测试该屏幕)，我认为他们在这里犯了一个错误。 他们没有将人物，面Kong，团体，朋友，家人，同事等固定住，而是将一堆通常看起来很漂亮的图标缩小到最不高兴的位置，以查看屏幕上可以容纳多少个图标。
(Plus they have 19 Updates pending, which I just find annoying.)
(此外，他们还有19个更新待处理，我觉得很烦。)
Here's mine next to theirs, just to contrast. Now, far be it from me to tell someone how to personalize their phone, I'm just trying to show that it doesn't have to be cartoonish.
对比之下，这是他们旁边的我的。 现在，要告诉别人如何个性化他们的手机还不算什么，我只是想证明它不必具有卡通色彩。
What I'm really interested in is why do we, as humans, find App Centric interfaces more intuitive than People Centric ones?
我真正感兴趣的是 为什么我们作为人类会发现以应用程序为中心的界面比以人为中心的界面更直观？
The "story" around People Centric is that you don't think "go to twitter and tweet my friend" or "go to Skype and call my friend," instead you click a picture of your friend and then contact them in any possible way using any enlisted app from there.
People Centric周围的“故事”是您不认为“去推特并鸣叫我的朋友”或“去Skype并给我的朋友打电话”，而是单击您朋友的照片，然后以任何可能的方式与他们联系使用那里的任何应征应用。
For example, if I search my Windows machine for "Scott Guthrie" I get this (Scott is lousy about keeping his pictures up to date.)
例如，如果我在Windows机器上搜索“ Scott Guthrie”，我会得到这个信息(Scott不好意思保持他的图片最新。)
You can see from here I can Email, Call, Facebook, Skype (if he had Skype), or get a map to his house. All his actual accounts, Twitter, Facebook, etc are linked into one Scott Guthrie Person.
您可以从这里看到我可以通过电子邮件，电话，Facebook，Skype(如果他有Skype)或获取到他家的地图的信息。 他的所有实际帐户，Twitter，Facebook等都链接到一个Scott Guthrie Person。
It works great on the phone, where I'm more likely to do more than just email. Note at the bottom there's a chain with a number showing that my wife has 6 accounts (Google, Hotmail, Facebook, Skype, etc) that are all linked into one Contact.
它在电话上效果很好，在电话上我做的不仅仅是电子邮件。 请注意，在底部有一个链，上面有一个数字，显示我妻子有6个帐户(Google，Hotmail，Facebook，Skype等)，这些帐户都链接到一个联系人中。
Folks that use Windows Phone mostly know about these features, and the hardcore users I know pin people to Start. On the desktop, though, I never see this. I wonder why. I am surprised that in a people focused world of social networks that elevating our friends, family and loved ones to be at least peers with notepad.exe would have happened by now.
使用Windows Phone的人们大多了解这些功能，而我认识的核心用户则将人们吸引到Start那里。 但是，在台式机上，我从未见过。 我想知道为什么。 在一个以人为本的社交网络世界中，使我们的朋友，家人和亲人至少成为notepad.exe的同伴，我感到惊讶。
What do you think, Dear Reader? Have you given this some thought in your interfaces?
亲爱的读者，您如何看待？ 您是否在界面中对此有所考虑？
