Abstract

The distinction between content and graphics in the ecological interface design (EID) is discussed. EID indicates what affordances should be represented in a display, but it provides little or no guidance about what the display should look like. EID is a theory of interface content and not a theory of interface graphics. The term graphics refers to the appearance of a display or what an interface looks like.
