This paper concerns the study of user experience and focuses on two aspects i.e. usability and user satisfaction. Two mobile applications for monitoring human activity, Mi Fit and Google Fit, were tested. Both applications work with sports armbands. Two methods were used for the study: a questionnaire and eye tracking. The comparison of the applications was made on the basis of the collected results from questionnaires, measurements of task completion times and the number and type of errors detected. Nine respondents participated in the study. The Google Fit application received a higher average score for user satisfaction, fewer errors and shorter task completion times.

BACKGROUND Following the rise of health awareness in modern societies, health promotion has attracted progressively more attention in both academia and industry. This, along with the evolution of information and communication technologies, has resulted in the development of several mobile applications used in health promotion. Unfortunately, users of the applications have not achieved their goals, since many applications have not provided a smooth user experience. OBJECTIVE To clearly identify the defining attributes of mobile app usability in the context of health promotion in order to guide the design of apps which provide smooth user experience. METHODS It is thus first necessary to conduct an exploration into app usability, for which this study applies the concept analysis method by Walker and Avant, which includes: (1) identifying the use of the concept, (2) determining the defining attributes, (3) constructing a model case, (4) constructing model, contrary, borderline, and related cases, (5) identifying antecedents and consequences, and (6) defining empirical referents. RESULTS We then derive a unified definition of usability from the healthcare perspective—that the defining attributes of "usability of mobile application" are: efficiency, user satisfaction, and learnability. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that mobile applications with these attributes could achieve their designed goals and reach maximal efficacy, since users would continue using the app on a regular basis, and would recommend it to others.

ABSTRACT Kode Funding Application is a cooperative mobile-based application which is a service product of PT Kodetag Global Teknotama. This application is designed to have features of cooperatives transactions, but it has not been designed with user experience (UX) and user interface optimization (UI) to meet the needs and achieve user satisfaction. As the consequence, when the user used the application, they faced difficulties in making transactions on the application such as data input errors. These following things will affect the performance of the user while making the transactions.The design of user experience and user interface optimization are designed to build an Android mobile application prototype for Koperasi Simpan Pinjam dan Pembiayaan Syariah (KSPPS) Kode Funding that is using the Five Planes Element of User Experience by Garrett (2011) and considering the aspects of usability and aesthetics. The evaluation was carried out using techniques such as think aloud and learnability assessment by testing 5 participants for a medium fidelity prototype. The final evaluation results on usability testing using task success get a 90% success rate for time and task completion. All participants can complete the proposed task. Meanwhile, the results of the time completion evaluation were calculated to be 5 out of 50 participants that exceeded the time limit. Participants assumed that the prototype with UX design giving a more attractive appearance and the better experience when using the application, as well as the availability of detailed transaction information.   ABSTRAK Aplikasi Kode Funding adalah aplikasi koperasi berbasis mobile yang merupakan produk layanan dari PT Kodetag Global Teknotama. Aplikasi ini telah dirancang memiliki fungsi atau fitur transaksi pada koperasi, namun belum dilakukan perancangan user experience (UX) dan optimasi user interface (UI) untuk memenuhi kebutuhan dan mencapai kepuasan pengguna. Sehingga, ketika user menggunakan aplikasi tersebut, terdapat kesulitan dalam melakukan transaksi pada aplikasi seperti adanya kesalahan input data setoran. Hal berikut tentunya mempengaruhi performa dan kinerja dari pengguna aplikasi dalam bertransaksi.Perancangan user experience dan optimasi user interface dimaksudkan agar terbentuknya prototipe aplikasi mobile Android Koperasi Simpan Pinjam dan Pembiayaan Syariah (KSPPS) Kode Funding yang menggunakan metode Five Planes User Experience Elements oleh Garrett (2011) dengan mempertimbangkan aspek usability dan estetika. Evaluasi dilakukan menggunakan teknik think aloud dan penilaian learnability dengan pengujian pada 5 partisipan untuk medium fidelity prototype. Hasil akhir evaluasi pada usability testing menggunakan task success mendapatkan success rate sebesar 90% untuk time and task completion. Seluruh partisipan dapat menyelesaikan task yang diajukan. Sedangkan, hasil evaluasi dari pemenuhan waktu terdapat 5 dari 50 partisipan melebihi batas waktu. Partisipan menganggap pengembangan prototipe dengan perancangan UX memberikan dampak tampilan yang lebih menarik dan pengalaman menggunakan aplikasi yang lebih baik, serta adanya informasi transaksi yang lebih rinci.

Touch-screen GUIs have become a key feature of modern consumer electronics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect that reducing the number of icons on the GUI of a popular soda machine has on drink selection time and user satisfaction. Twenty subjects participated in the study, with 10 assigned to the control and experimental groups respectively. Time to make a drink selection was recorded and compared between groups using unpaired t-test. User satisfaction was measured using a five-point scale questionnaire. The results suggested that user satisfaction, except for the display dependability category, is not affected by the reduction of the number of icons on the soda machine GUI and no change was observed in drink selection time.

Usability Metrics

The choice of best gestures and commands for touchless interfaces is a critical step that determines the user- satisfaction and overall efficiency of surgeon computer interaction. In this regard, usability metrics such as task completion time, error rate, and memorability have a long-standing as potential entities in determining the best gesture vocabulary. In addition, some previous works concerned with this problem have utilized qualitative measures to identify the best gesture. In this work, we hypothesize that there is a correlation between the qualitative properties of gestures (v) and their usability metrics (u). Therefore, we conducted an experiment with linguists to quantify the properties of the gestures. Next, a user study was conducted with surgeons, and the usability metrics were measured. Lastly, linear and non-linear regression techniques were used to find the correlations between u and v. Results show that usability metrics are correlated with the gestures’ qualitative properties ( R2 = 0.4).

AbstractThis paper presents results of the effect of different translation modalities on users when working with the Microsoft Word user interface. An experimental study was set up with 84 Japanese, German, Spanish, and English native speakers working with Microsoft Word in three modalities: the published translated version, a machine translated (MT) version (with unedited MT strings incorporated into the MS Word interface) and the published English version. An eye-tracker measured the cognitive load and usability according to the ISO/TR 16982 guidelines: i.e., effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction followed by retrospective think-aloud protocol. The results show that the users’ effectiveness (number of tasks completed) does not significantly differ due to the translation modality. However, their efficiency (time for task completion) and self-reported satisfaction are significantly higher when working with the released product as opposed to the unedited MT version, especially when participants are less experienced. The eye-tracking results show that users experience a higher cognitive load when working with MT and with the human-translated versions as opposed to the English original. The results suggest that language and translation modality play a significant role in the usability of software products whether users complete the given tasks or not and even if they are unaware that MT was used to translate the interface.

Some previous research using a new augmented reality map display called Mirror-in-the-Sky (MitS) showed that performance was worse and mental workload (MWL) greater with MitS relative to a track-up map for navigation and wayfinding tasks. The purpose of the current study was to determine—for both MitS and track-up map—how much performance improves and MWL decreases with practice in a simple navigation task. We conducted a three-session experiment in which twenty participants completed a route following task in a virtual environment. Task completion times and collisions decreased, subjective MWL decreased, and secondary task performance improved with practice. The NASA-TLX Global ratings and Detection Response Task Hit Rates showed a larger decrease in MWL with MitS than the track-up map. Additionally, means for performance and workload measures showed that differences between the MitS and track-up map decreased in the first session. In later sessions the differences between the MitS and track-up map were negligible. As such, with practice performance and MWL may be comparable to a traditional track-up map.
