Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study the direction of improving kiosk design for convenient use by all users by increasing the usability of kiosks based on universal design principles. The direction of design improvement was studied by deriving essential improvements through additional surveys verifying the results of age-specific surveys and analysis related to the use of kiosks. The results of the study are as follows. High contrast between kiosk screen background and design elements, yellow color, and outline design elements increase readability. Then, reduce and enlarge the font based on 10pt. In addition, in consideration of wheelchair passengers, the area where the lower part cannot be designed and the minimum height of adjusting the height of the kiosk were derived. In the future, kiosk design requires a design and system that can diversify the functions of kiosks according to individual characteristics, and design should be focused on the application of universal design. Since this study has limited research subjects, further studies on various samples are required, and verification studies related to color and readability will also be conducted.

본 논문은 유니버설 디자인 원칙을 바탕으로 키오스크의 사용성을 높여 모든 사용자가 편리하게 사용하기 위한 키오스크 디자인 개선 방향을 연구하는 것이 목적이다. 키오스크 사용과 관련한 나이별 설문조사와 분석결과를 검증하는 추가 설문조사를 통해 필수 개선점을 도출하여 디자인 개선 방향을 연구하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 키오스크 화면 배경과 디자인 요소 간 높은 대비, yellow 계열의 색상, 아웃라인화 한 디자인 요소의 사용으로 가독성을 높인다. 그리고 10pt를 기준으로 폰트의 축소와 확대가 가능하도록 한다. 또한, 휠체어 탑승자를 고려하여 하단부 설계가 불가능한 영역과 키오스크가 낮추어져야 할 최소 높이를 도출하였다. 향후 키오스크 디자인 시에는 개인의 특성에 따라 키오스크의 기능이 다변화할 수 있도록 하는 디자인과 시스템이 필요하며 유니버설 디자인의 적용에 중점을 두어 디자인해야 한다. 본 연구는 연구대상이 한정적이므로 다양한 표본을 대상으로 한 추후 연구가 필요하며 색상과 가독성에 관련한 검증 연구도 추후 진행할 계획이다.
