Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a standard betting layout with all possible wagers is provided, then complete betting options are available, but the interface becomes confusing and difficult to operate
Solution Approach 1:
The betting layout is segmented into multiple customizable pages, allowing players to divide the comprehensive betting options across different screens. Each page can display a subset of betting options, reducing the visual complexity on any single screen while maintaining access to all wager types through navigation between pages.
Solution Approach 2:
The betting layout transitions from a static fixed design to a dynamic customizable interface. Players can dynamically adjust which betting options appear on which pages, resize option displays, and reorganize the layout according to their preferences, making the interface adaptable to individual needs rather than forcing all users to navigate the same complex structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all betting options are displayed on a single layout, then comprehensive wagering is enabled, but the display becomes cluttered and hard to navigate
Solution Approach 1:
The betting options are organized across multiple pages, adding a navigational dimension to the interface. Instead of cramming all options into a single crowded screen, players can navigate through multiple pages, each displaying a manageable subset of betting options. This multi-page structure reduces clutter on individual screens while preserving access to the complete set of wager types.
3Productivity
If the betting interface requires precise motor skills to place bets quickly, then betting speed is maintained, but accessibility is reduced for players with mobility limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The interface allows players to adjust the size of betting option displays and modify other visual parameters to accommodate different abilities. Larger display options make targets easier to acquire and select for players with mobility limitations, while the customizable nature ensures that betting speed can be maintained through efficient layout organization rather than requiring precise motor skills.
4Ease of manufacture
If a fixed betting layout is used, then the interface is simple to implement, but it cannot accommodate individual player preferences or needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from a static fixed layout to a dynamic customizable interface that adapts to individual player preferences. Players can modify which betting options appear on each page, adjust the size and positioning of display elements, and reorganize the layout according to their specific needs. This dynamic approach maintains relatively simple implementation through standardized customization mechanisms while providing extensive personalization capabilities.
