Thanks for the summary of the Heuristics, your video helped me gain a deeper understanding of Nielsons 10 Usability heuristics so that i could finish up a particularly difficult class in my bachelors degree program.
For your notes: 1. Visibility of system status: the system should always keep the user informed about what is going on for appropriate feedback within reasonable time 2. Match between system and the real world: the system should speak the user's language with words and concepts that are familiar to the user 3. User control and freedom: users often make mistakes and that they will need a clearly marked emergency exit to get back to where they really want to be 4. Consistency and standards: users should not have to wonder whether different words or situation mean the same thing in that you should therefore have a convention and continually across your entire platform 5. Error prevention: the best designs don't only have great error recovery but prevent users from making those errors 6. Recognition or recall: systems should minimize the user's memory load by making objects, actions, and options more visible (prioritize recognition over recall) 7. Flexibility and efficiency of use: our system should incorporate accelerators which are unseen to the novice user but that allow the expert user to navigate faster with frequent actions 8. Aesthetic and minimalist design: dialogues should not contain irrelevant information 9. Help users recognize, diagnose and recover from errors: error messages would be expressed in plain languages and precisely indicate the problem 10. Help and documentation: even though the system can be used without documentation it may be necessary to provide help and documentation

This reminds me of the tiktok where the girl makes her own Wes Anderson short, and also of Grand Budapest hotel. Aka I might make a comp vid of GBH scenes to this audio.
Great summary, although I think there's a misunderstanding with the "Recognition rather Recall"... I think it should be more in the way of using behaviors that the user already know vs teaching new ones
It's right in the video, it's about how it's much easier to remember when you have key words/icons/phrases than nothing at all. Recognition is easier than recalling!
This video is an OK intro into Nielsen's 10 Heuristics but it does make some rather confusing examples here and there. I recommend NN Group's own videos series for a better understanding of the subject. Linked here: ua-cam.com/play/PLJOFJ3Ok_idtb2YeifXlG1-TYoMBLoG6I.html BTW the Ikea example was not really good. Those who have assembled Ikea furniture know that those nicely designed instructions are actually REQUIRED and not optional when you are putting an Ikea piece together...
I am not sure about your assumptions about children's interfaces. Yes, they need to be crystal clear in terms of navigability. But many of the new interfaces (see nosycrow.com/apps/) do not assume outcomes.
This video is terrible. The audio quality sucks. The blue slides are confusing because the video's title indicates a quantity of 10, but there were 25 of these slides, and none of them were numbered. Additionally, the slides have multiple misspellings, grammatical errors, Randomly Capitalized Text, and English syntax errors. This is not a good video to show in any academic or educational context.
Saying it's "terrible" is a bit harsh. The content is good, the examples are good, and the delivery is good. Although the audio quality could be better.
12 years later, still helps!
Cheers Bro

thank boom
er
lemme guess.... you got the same college assignment
Thanks for this video. It was super easy to understand and very simple. Also those short phrases like "oops" really made it easy to remember
Bravo Jakokb! You even followed your own advice and got it across simply and clearly. THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!
A very clear and concise video with examples. Top marks!
Thanks for the summary of the Heuristics, your video helped me gain a deeper understanding of Nielsons 10 Usability heuristics so that i could finish up a particularly difficult class in my bachelors degree program.
from 2023, I appreaciate what you done
Watching this video for the second time, this really help me in my "Human Computer Interaction"
thanks a lot Dear Sir :)
Thank you. No other video demonstration can be better than this. Your examples rock!
great examples , better than multiple websites who all quote the same thing. Thank you!
This made Usability Heuristics much easier to understand. Thanks!

What's with the creepy yellow man bear pig at the end D:
I think that's Mr. Oizo!
Loved this explanation! Very clear and concise and love the visuals! Thank you!

This video is really helpful for me understand the 10 usability heuristics. thank you so much:)
This was so helpful!
Great explanation.. many thanks

Nice and understandable examples. Thank you! :D
such a wonderfull explanation!!!! KUDOSSSSS TO U
Really helpful.
Thanks for the great examples. So much easier to understand now. :D

What was the song in the background? It made the video's message seem INTENSE! It was also pretty cool. :)

..AMAZING!! U helped me to get it tanx
Thank you. I thought I was the only one thinking this...
When you're working on software, it's easy to forget a lot of this stuff. More people should have an understanding of it tbh.
That is Flat Eric famous for his appearance in the music video Flat Beat by Mr. Oizo.
oooh, I thought that WAS Mr. Oizo!
Nielsen Norman Group did part of it - And this video is based on Nielsen's work. So...
thank you sir nice example for kids to understand
request -voice in not clear
well done
Great video! But what up with the creepy doll at the end? :S
Whoever did UI research for Microsoft Windows 8 should watch this video
Haha, definitely!
Wow...woaaa
Good video. I liked the examples. I believe his name is pronounced Yakob, not Jacob.
Is it though? Or is that a common misconception?
Id say that W8 follows those rules to the letter.
Im just another scrub pushing through *Compsci 345* content..... sigh
Haahaha, I really like this. Good use of examples :)
thanks :)
not me?
Music is too loud.

Music and voice together are annoying!!!!!!!!!
sounds like a nerd!
Bad UX - annoying background music
