Usability study of VUI consistent with GUI focusing on age-groups

چکیده
We studied the usability of a Voice User Interface (VUI) that is consistent with a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and focused on its dependency with user age-groups. Usability tests were iteratively conducted on 245 Japanese subjects with age-groups from 20s to 60s using a prototype of an in-vehicle information application. Next we calculated and analyzed statistics of the usability tests. We discuss the differences in usability with respect to age-groups and how to handle them. We propose that it is necessary to make voice guidance straightforward and to devise a VUI consistent with a GUI (VGUI) in order to let users understand the system structure. Also we found that the default design of a VGUI should be as simple as possible so that elderly users, who may be slow to learn the new system structure, are able to easily learn it.

An Empirical Evaluation of a Vocal User Interface for Programming by Voice
Although Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) often improve usability, individuals with physical disabilities may be unable to use a mouse and keyboard to navigate through a GUI-based application. In such situations, a Vocal User Interface (VUI) may be a viable alternative. Existing vocal tools (e.g., Vocal Joystick) can be integrated into software applications; however, integrating an assistive te...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Voice and Graphical User Interfaces with respect to Literacy Levels ( Extended Abstract )
Visual and aural are two most important channels of information processing. While most of the interaction with computers have been designed around the visual channel, there are circumstances where voice based man-machine interaction becomes preferable, and in some cases, necessary, given that voice based interaction comes naturally to humans and can be used by illiterate people easily. Voice Us...
متن کاملA Comparison of GUI and VUI Testing
Software testing is a critical step in the software development lifecycle, and it is equally important to evaluate the graphical user interface of an application. While there are many testing techniques used in testing graphical user interfaces, the number of techniques and studies for voice user interface testing is minimal. This paper presents an overview of selected techniques used in graphi...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Voice-Driven Animation System
This thesis presents a novel multimodal interface for directing the actions of computer animated characters and camera movements. Our system can recognize human voice input combined with mouse pointing to generate desired character animation based on motion capture data. We compare our voice-driven system with a button-driven animation interface that has equivalent capabilities. An informal use...
