  • In the "digitalized" world of new media, visual designer are increasingly enlarging their roles in desighing interaction products. However, the concepts and their methods of the interaction design have not been well established in the design community yet. The reason is attributed to the fact that designing interaction products requires two way communication between the products and final users. whereas traditional graphic design counts only on one way communication. This study emphasizes GUI design should aim at improving the usability of products which helps users quickly learn about the products and easily use them. The usability of GUI design significantly improved by securing logical rationality helps designers communicate and collaborate with program engineers and other product developers. To explain how designers can effectively communicate with program engineers and other product participants in the design process, a model of design collaboration is provided in this study. Based on the model, the study deals with the principles and methods of visual interaction, the formulation of specification system, testing design usability, and design evaluation. The study concludes that GUI designers must ensure logical rationality and the cognitive approach of visual language. Because it improves the usability of products. It also becomes an objective tool for communicating and collaborationg with engineers and the other participants in the design process.

  • The present study examined the usability of the web site design, focusing on the cognitive characteristics of the WWW. Specifically, we conducted two major non-experimental usability testing methods on the domestic web sites with various purposes. In research I. we used an on-line questionnaire method on 12 domestic web sites. As a result. several critical usability features and factors were identified. In research 2. we carried out a heuristic evaluation method to identify more specific usability problems The result of research 2 suggests that the heuristic evaluation method reveals more specific problems of the web site design than the questionnaire method.

  • The mobile augmented reality(MAR) market is rapidly growing with following the sudden rise of the metaverse. However, research on improving user experience in mobile augmented reality environment is lacking. This study aims to develop the usability principles of an AR-based smartphone app. The research conducts following methods. 1)The characteristics of MAR were understood to identify usability elements of AR apps. 2)Usability principles were collected through analysis of case studies on the usability of AR and the 14 usability principles were developed through in-depth interviews with experts for the purpose of chunking. 3)To verify the 14 developed usability principles, evaluation items were composed based on the usability principles and usability evaluation survey was conducted. Consequently, significant differences were found in immersivity, presence, efficiency, satisfaction, playfulness and It was verified that the developed usability principle is useful in developing AR based smartphone apps. This study is meaningful in that it conducted the basic research of mobile AR usability principles
