Future automated vehicles (AVs) are anticipated to feature innovative exteriors, such as textual identity indications, external radars, and external human–machine interfaces (eHMIs), as evidenced by current and forthcoming on-road testing prototypes. However, given the vulnerability of pedestrians in road traffic, it remains unclear how these novel...

Given pedestrians' vulnerability in road traffic, it remains unclear how novel AV appearances will impact pedestrians crossing behaviour. To address this gap, this study pioneers an investigation into the influence of AVs' exterior design, correlated with their kinematics, on pedestrians' road-crossing perception and decision-making. A video-based...

Anthropomorphic appearance is a key factor to affect users’ attitudes and emotions. This research aimed to measure emotional experience caused by robots’ anthropomorphic appearance with three levels – high, moderate, and low – using multimodal measurement. Fifty participants’ physiological and eye-tracker data were recorded synchronously while they...

In an information-overloaded Internet environment, users make rapid evaluations of webpages after just short exposures to them. Hence, a method is needed to identify automatic and rapid visual attentionAttention to webpages. Neuroergonomics methods can be used to help identify automatic and rapidly deployed visual attentionAttention by measuringMea...

This paper aims to use a quantitative and visual method to evaluate the history, current, and future of publications regarding physiological measurement for user experience (UX). Since UX has attracted the attention of many disciplines, this field has accumulated numerous research outcomes. Therefore, it is important and timely to make a systematic...

Users’ first impressions of a website have a great impact on their subsequent behaviors and attitudes toward the website. Visual complexity and order are two key factors of webpage design that influence users’ first impressions of webpages. Consequently, we investigated those factors in the present study, using an event-related potential (ERP) tech...

We proposed a method employing deep learning (DL) on eye-tracking data and applied this method to detect intentions to use apparel websites that differed in factors of depth, breadth, and location of navigation. Results showed that users’ intentions could be predicted by combining a deep neural network algorithm and metrics recorded from an eye-tra...

This study investigates how an anthropomorphic app icon affects users' responses from an emotional standpoint. The design is a case-study/laboratory experiment in which 50 participants evaluated a commercially available weather app icon that had facial features (with an anthropomorphic appearance) and the same app icon but without the facial 2 Y. C...

Exploring what types of app icons are attractive has been a topic of great interest in recent years. The main purpose of this study was to explore the neural mechanism of attention capturing of the anthropomorphic app icons based on neuroergonomics. Participants’ perception of different app icons was investigated by using event-related potentials (...

Icon color and icon border shape are two key factors that affect search efficiency and user experience but have previously been studied separately. This study aimed to ascertain their separate and combined effects on smartphone interfaces. We conducted an experiment using eye tracking in addition to performance and experience measures to understand...

This paper is aimed uses VOS viewer to evaluate the history, current and future of publications regarding intelligent agent. Intelligent agents are sometimes called bot, short for robot. With the rapid development of communication technology and network information technology, the characteristics and functions of intelligent agent technology have b...

(1) Background: Despite the substantial increase in the number of adolescent smartphone users, few studies have investigated the behavioral effects of smartphone use on adolescent students as it relates to musculoskeletal discomfort; (2) Methods: The aim of our study was to estimate the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in university students...

We investigated the impact of color salience and location of a website link on users' performance, affective experiences and approach-avoidance tendencies with 10 mock mobile Web directories. Task completion times were recorded by a computer program, and users' affective experiences and approach-avoidance responses were reported in questionnaires....

This article aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of mental workload from 1990 to 2020. Publication source, publication organization, authors, country, citation of articles, citation of country and organization were recorded and analyzed. Bibliometric maps of authorship, citation, co-citation and network of co-occurrence of keywords are drawn. 1...

This study aimed to research the relationship between input method skin elements, kansei words and users’ preferences, optimize the input method skin design and improve users’ satisfaction. The input method skin elements are divided into six categories: toolbar, candidate area, shortcut keys, function keys, keyboard background and button background...

This study attempted to multimodally measure mental workload and validate indicators for estimating mental workload. A simulated computer work composed of mental arithmetic tasks with different levels of difficulty was designed and used in the experiment to measure physiological signals (heart rate, heart rate variability, electromyography, electro...

In knowledge-intensive crowdsourcing (KI-C), estimating proper participants is an important way to ensure tasks crowdsourcing outcomes. Participants’ attributes (PAs) act as the main decision factors which are viewed as criteria for evaluating and estimating potential participants. Actually, multiple interdependent PAs have effect on participant es...

BACKGROUND Prolonged sitting at work can lead to adverse health outcomes. The health risk of office workers is an increasing concern for society and industry with prolonged sitting work becomes more prevalent. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the variation in muscle activities during prolonged sitting work and found out when and how to take a...

UX (User experience) can influence important user behaviors, including user preference, purchasing decisions, and customer loyalty. The ability to assess UX during the product trial has practical significance for design and improvement of products. In this article, two smartphones with different UX were selected through a focus group. In the EEG (e...

The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between experienced mental workload and physiological response by multi-modal data.
