This research validates the correlation between usability and functional attributes whilst comparing the degree of satisfaction of information framework used in museum mobile apps via usability evaluation in pre-visit setting. In cases of Bilbao Guggenheim and American Natural History Museum apps, the degree of satisfaction measured for information service, functional attributes, motivation for actual museum visit and during-visit usability of the apps were all highly evaluated. Such evaluation data indicates the increased usability of apps when mobile applications take user-friendly design that intuitively reflect users' interests and needs. After thorough analysis of correlation between usability and fictional attributes, data pointed to more meaning relationships existed in non-intrusiveness and personalization than other functional attributes. In conclusion, we were able to acknowledge the usability of museum mobile apps depends upon the interaction between content and functional attributes rather than entertainment factor and technology.

A communication is one of the most important factors for the human beings. Therefore, people who have some problems in communication need an Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) intervention to live in the human societies and several AAC systems have been developed to help the people. Lately, smart-phone is widely used to people as a communication device which can connect between persons. It can provide many useful methods and Apps to the user. If the AAC system is unified to the smart-phone, it is very effective device to the people with disabled because they can reduce the excessive expense and easily accommodate themselves to the AAC system. In this paper, an AAC program which is installed in the smart-phone or tablet PC is introduced. It has basic AAC solutions and can send SMS message to other people. We expect that the developed device can help the communication of the people with disabled and solve the social isolation of the disabled person.

The growth of virtual reality games and the popularization of blockchain technology are bringing significant changes to the formation of the metaverse industry ecosystem. Especially, after Meta acquired Oculus, a VR device and application company, the growth of VR-based metaverse services is accelerating. In this study, the concept that supports leisure activities in the metaverse environment is explored realting to game-like features in VR apps, which differentiates traditional mobile apps based on a smart phone device. Using exploratory text mining methods and network analysis approches, 241 apps registed in the Oculus Quest 2 App Store were analyzed. Analysis results from a quasi-network show that a leisure concept is closely related to various genre features including a game and tourism. Additionally, the anlaysis results of G & F model indicate that the leisure concept is distictive in the view of gateway brokerage role. Those results were also confirmed in LDA topic modeling analysis.

The controversy about the burger button triggered in 2013 is that it is difficult to know what the hamburger button itself means and that it is difficult to predict what will happen when the button is clicked, Could. This controversy was found to be fundamentally out of touch, and it could be seen that it caused conflict with Apple's navigation structure with iOS. Therefore, in the case of Apple, it is often used in the form of a tab at the bottom instead of using the slide menu, but it is preferable to be used for the purpose of the hamburger button. I've looked through a variety of documents and found that the amount of content you want to offer on your app or the web is large, and there are five or more categories. And if a sub-category needs to exist in the main category like a large shopping mall, the hamburger button could provide the best UI. Apps and webs that can be curated, such as news and pinterest, are better used to enhance the search filter than to place a hamburger button, and for apps or the web that has a longer amount of content on a page Scrolling was available as an alternative to the burger button. In other words, depending on the amount of content to be provided, it is possible to decide whether to use the hamburger menu from the time of designing the information architecture.

Smart TV is expected to take the center stage of the recent "smartization" trend in IT and consumer electronics as it performs a hub for various smart IT devices, such as smart phone, smart pad, PC, etc. It is distinct from traditional TVs or even IPTVs in the sense that it provides immersive and interactive experiences via apps downloaded through TV app store. Smart TV could serve as a new intermediary device between other smart devices and the Internet. While it started experiencing a rapid growth, little research has been conducted to understand this emerging technology in terms of its user acceptance and adoption by users. The current research attempts to fill the gap in the field by examining factors and processes for this new technology to be adopted by users. This paper draws on theories of IT acceptance and use, such as the "Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology", to investigate factors affecting "intention to use" of smart TV. The proposed research model is analyzed using the structural equation modeling approach. Findings show that such factors as innovativeness, switching cost, switching benefit, service interface, and user interface affect users' intention to use smart TV, through effort expectation, performance expectation, and social influence. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.
