Factors influencing the usability of icons in the LCD touch screens
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors influencing the usability of icons in the LCD touch screens. In this study, subjects had to fill in the questionnaire and rated questions on 7-point Likert scales. 20 evaluation items were collected from relevant interface design guidelines. A total of 30 subjects, 10 none- experience users, 10 click-experience users (PDA user), 10 touch-experience users (LCD touch screens user), participated in the investigation.
