PROJECT TITLE:
Pie Menu
IDEA:
Its a concept to improve user interaction.
TOOL:
Visual studio
Visual C#
ABOUT PROJECT:
Pie menu is simply a circular menu made of pie slices. It works well with the mouse clicks. We
have shown 8 items in a menu which will appear on windows just by right click of mouse.
The goal of pie menu is to provide smooth, reliable gestural style of interaction between the user
and a system. It is faster and more reliable to select the menu from pie menu by just on one click.
We also use different colors in the menu which provide friendly interface for the user.
INTERVIEW 1:Q1: What kind of requirements do you want your interface to work in?
Q2: Whats the need of facilitating the user with such interactive interface?
Q3: Is the interface you are working on is very time consuming?
Q4: Would you need any mathematical tools regarding this?
PROTOTYPE:
In prototype we are going to represent our design using graphs and sketches develop at the
beginning of design process.
EVALUATIONS:
We start evaluating the early sketches and then as the project progresses we keep improving our
prototypes and evaluate those. We use heuristic approach for low fidelity paper prototype
evaluation
What is the user goal and why? (Is effect of current action same as user goal?)
Does the action or label match the goal? Will the user recognize the action as the correct
one?
Above created pie menu prototype designs are designed and created in Visual Studio using C#.
At this stage is very important to gather as much feedback as possible before moving onto the
final prototype stage.
To help me gather feedback, we developed an Evaluation Plan to outline the goal of the Pie
Menu and what I wanted to find out.

Feedback Received:
Add more details to the Pie Menu to increase the user interactivity with selection of options
rather then moving down in drop down menus.
Pie menu given in Figure 1 and Figure 2 is built for novice users.
Target and Goals of pie menu is iteratively changing with users feedback. Instead of fixing
the requirement and design, we use heuristic approach by taking suggestions and feedback to
change our GUI.
This detailed feedback has helped us to gain a better understanding of how the computer users
want to view menu. Now, we can improve our prototype in the light of feedback.
