| الوصف: | 95 The user interfaces of digital cameras currently available in the market were designed differently due to different technical specifications. To the beginners, the user interface design styles will affect how they interact with the digital camera as well as their purchase intentions. Therefore, the user interface design of digital cameras is worth of explorations. This research study is intended to investigate the interface usability of digital cameras based on the perspectives of human-machine interaction. In addition to the collection of representative samples from the market (i.e., Liteon LT400Z, Samsung D420, and Casio EXZ40), this study also summarizes research findings from relevant literatures. It is hoped that the experiment conducted in this study can have both theoretical and practical relevance. Three experimental stages were planned in this study. In the first stage, both questionnaire survey and in-depth interview were conducted to help collect users’ interface requirements of digital cameras. In the second stage, participants were required to interact with representative digital cameras. The data regarding participants’ task performance, information representation styles, and pros and cons were collected for further analyses. In the third stage, an experiment using the 2 x 3 factorial design was conducted. That is, the prototypes of two “functional menu category” and three “menu layout style” were created as the experimental samples. Participants were required to perform the tasks by means of these digital cameras. Besides their task performance, their degree of satisfactions regarding these interface prototypes were also investigated. The results generated from this study revealed that: (1) There exist significant differences in the participants’ task performance and number of button clicks among three currently available digital cameras. That is, Samsung D420 performs better in the selection of light exposure and after effect than both Liteon LT400Z and Casio EXZ40. Nonetheless, Casio EXZ40 performs better in the tasks of light compensation and mode selection than Samsung D420 and Liteon LT400Z. (2) There exist no significant differences between the “functional menu category” and “menu layout style” pertaining to the overall task performance among six prototypes. However, the text type of functional menu was easier to understand by the novice users than the icon type of functional menu. In addition, there exists a significant difference among there menu layout styles. That is, participants perform better by using the “vertical arrangement” followed by the “3D arrangement” and “horizontal arrangement.” (3) There exist no significant differences in the measurement of pleasure among six prototypes. Participants scored 36.4 points in average in vertical arrangement, 33.1 points in horizontal arrangement, and 37.0 points in 3D arrangement. All the scores were higher than 28, half of the total score. Therefore, all the three types of menu layout styles can make participants feel pleasurable while they are interacting with the prototypes. (4) There exist significant differences in the participants’ responses to the questionnaire of System Usability Scale (SUS) among six prototypes. Among them, the “vertical arrangement” is significantly different from “horizontal” and “vertical” arrangements. Furthermore, all the scores were higher than 50, half of the total score. We may think that all the prototypes possess very good system usability. (5) There exist no significant differences in the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS) among six prototypes. Nonetheless, all the scores were higher than 73.5, half of the total score. We may think that all the prototypes can satisfy participants’ interaction requirements. |
