  3. Introduction 1.1. Motivation -1 • World: global marketplace (del Galdo and Neilsen, 1996) • Population stereotypes & miscommunications • Need to “Accustomed (localized) interfaces” • To Understand representations (icons) • Icons have matrix of meanings which depend on not only images themselves but also contexts and users like meaning of representation • R (Representation) means M (Meaning) in Context C (Searle, 1995) • Representations: color, icons, symbols, and characters, etc. Introduction (1/5) - Research and Background - Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  4. Introduction 1.1. Motivation -2 • Studies of cultural differences in user perception and icon design • Choong and Salvendy (1998) • American : alphanumeric icons • Chinese : pictorial icons • Ito and Nakakoji (1996) • different shapes of icons in word processors between Japanese and North American according to the cultural model • Piamonte et al. (2001) • Different understanding telecommunication symbols between European and American (a part of the projects – Asia, Europe, USA) Introduction (2/5) - Research and Background - Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  5. Introduction 1.1. Motivation –3 • Koreans have their own cultural background • Few studies of Korean cultural model and Korean mental model • Few studies of localized design-guideline of icon for Korean users

  6. Introduction 1.3. Aims of the study • Questions of study • Were there original metaphors based on Korean own cultural backgrounds? • Were there Korean cognitive map to preferred icons through multidimensional scaling (MDS)? • Were local elements found through the test of preference? • Assumptions and limitations • Undergraduate and graduate students that are 20s • surveys and interview are performed through online • Selected icons which were used in experiments are based in MS word (97, 2000) and Hangul 97 Introduction (4/5) - Research and Background - Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  7. Introduction 1.4. Summary • Icons are the main element of the GUIs • Well-designed icons facilitate computer performance • Icons are representations effected by culture • Meaning of representations depends on the users’ mental processing and context • Recent studies are performed to aim of building users’ cultural model and evaluating the icons to fit the specific culture • More studies are needed according to Korean cultural background. Introduction (5/5) - Research and Background - Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  8. Research Background Icon interfaces • Icons • the objects (function or data) - metaphor images • associations or states through mapping the concept in the mind (Byrne, 1993; Gittins, 1986) • type, form, and color (Gittins, 1986) Introduction - Research and Background(1/5)- Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  9. Research Background Mental Model (Norman 1983; 1986; 1988; Young 1983) • There is no denying that culture influences human-product interaction. Culture is learned behavior consisting of thoughts, feelings, and actions(Hoft, 1996) Introduction - Research and Background(2/5)- Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  10. Research Background Mental model and culture • Cultural impact in the listening mode (Ito and Nakakoji, 1996) • Cultural difference on representations • Cultural bias or metaphors (Hoft, 1996) Introduction - Research and Background(3/5)- Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  11. Research Background Technical research • Horton (1994) • Iconic language • a vocabulary: collection of elementary symbols • a grammar : forming units of vocabularies of expression • Command = Action on Object by Method (Fig.) Introduction - Research and Background(4/5)- Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  12. Research Background Technical research • Icon-design process = system design process • Task analysis : interview, observation, questionnaire • Usability test : survey, experiment of performance • Evaluation : checklists, survey • Matsey (1996), Neilsen (1993), del Galdo (1998), etc. • Analyzing the data : Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) Introduction - Research and Background(5/5)- Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions

  13. Classification Method Property Research Background Basic KYST (Kruskal, Young, Sheperd, Togerson) Data mapping INDSCAL (Individual Difference SCALing) Data and personal difference analysis MDPREF (Multi Dimensional PREFerence) Data and subject mapping Applied PROFIT (PROperty FITting) Data and properties mapping PREFMAP (PREFerence MAP) Data, subjects, and preference mapping • MDS analysis

  14. EXPERIMENTS and RESULTS • Process of experiment Development icons Experiments (Surveys) & Analysis (MDS) Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results(1/6) - Discussion - Conclusions

  15. Experiments and Results Experiment I: Building icons Ten Function Selecting • New document • Preview • Search • Font setting • Spelling check • Style • Table • Zoom in or out • Cut • Paste Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results(2/6) - Discussion - Conclusions

  16. Experiments and Results Experiment II: Choosing the best icons 40 women (age = 22.7±2.07 yrs.) 40 men (age = 23.4±2.71 yrs.) of Korea Univ . Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results(3/6) - Discussion - Conclusions

  17. Experiments and Results Experiment III: Evaluating Icons according to the icon-properties and users’ satisfactions 42 subjects (age = 24.0±2.50 yrs) Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results(4/6) - Discussion - Conclusions

  18. Experiments and Results

  19. Experiments and Results Experiment III: (Additional) Evaluating Icons according to the icon-properties and users’ satisfactions Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results(5/6) - Discussion - Conclusions

  20. Experiments and Results • Summary • New icons based on Korean users’ mental model were designed. • The best icons of each function were selected according to preference. • Icons were evaluated through the questionnaires which consisted of questions of properties and satisfaction. • Through MDS analysis, the icon, properties and satisfaction were mapped on two dimensions. Also, the results were well illustrated the relation among icon, properties and satisfaction. Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results(6/6) - Discussion - Conclusions

  21. Discussion • New icons developed based on Korean • Spell check • Paste • Style • Simple icons • new document • font setting Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results- Discussion (1/3) - Conclusions

  22. Discussion • MDS Analysis • Koreans prefer the complex representation of icon • Subjects were satisfied with the real object to be expressed as icons • This condition is opposite from icon’s characteristic, which is considered significant by icon guideline (Horton, 1994) • Preference • Korean users prefer the iconic representation added more information about function with real object Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results- Discussion (2/3) - Conclusions

  23. Discussion • a case study • It had been tried to discover the cultural differences of iconic design among Asian countries, China, Japan, and Korea • Although the schemata of functions about mailbox were different shape and color to express own cultural background, Chinese and Japanese have chosen the globalized icon • Established icons from B product (made in Korea) are more preferred than icons from A product • Choong and Salvendy (1993) Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results- Discussion (3/3) - Conclusions

  24. Conclusions • the development of icons based on cultural model • spell check, zoom in/out, paste, and search • the guideline for development of icons • Complex activity of iconic representation, Group I is able to understand the icon and to learn the icon easily • Concrete iconic representation, Group III has designed icon based on the real object in real world with pictographical elements (color) • Simple representation of icon, Group IV gives the user bad satisfaction of icon represented (well-known icons only) • Abstract iconic representation, Group V is not useful • Specialty of iconic representation is able to help to learn the icon : However, the elements to inform special facts have to be used as real object Introduction - Research and Background - Experiments and Results - Discussion - Conclusions
