nu prea e convigător. cred că funcțiii e ceva potrivit în context

Florin Ular Nov 7, 2011:

Din păcate nu cred că avem un cuvânt pentru asta în limba română. Poate că le-aș spune „elemente de design sugestiv”...

Alexandranow (asker) Nov 7, 2011:

da...dar cum traduceți?

„Affordance” este mai mult decât o funcție, este un principiu de design destinat să facă utilizatorul să înțeleagă cum se folosește acel lucru prin aspectul său, fără alte instrucțiuni: „affordance is the design aspect of an object that suggests how the object should be used (McGrenere & Ho, 2000). For example, when we hold a pencil in such a way that it fits comfortably in the hand, the pencil affords being held in this way as a result of its length, width, weight and texture, all with respect to the size, configuration and musculature of the hand (Allard, 2001). Affordances provide strong clues to the operation of things. Knobs are for turning, balls are for throwing or bouncing and chairs are for sitting on. When affordances are utilized, the user knows what to do by just looking; no instructions or pictures are required (Allard, 2001). Affordances are made in everyday life, including the computer world. For example, the surface of the computer screen is not only important in the interpretation of the user’s action, it is also important in the user’s understanding of the interface behaviours (Gallant et al, 2001)” http://ahsmail.uwaterloo.ca/kin356/afford/Introduction.htm
