“…Kolhoff et al [8] proposed the use of visual icons for sound files corresponding to the contents, but it is difficult to treat and recognize sound in human-computer interface systems that are centered around visual information. Prior work on sound-file browsing (e.g., [9], [10]) effectively used the human perception of auditory localization.…”

We propose "Mixticky," a scheme for browsing and recording memorandum-like sticky notes in a three-dimensional virtual space around a user with a smartphone. For intuitive browsing and recall of such memos and information, it is important to achieve browsability and contemporaneousness of the memos/information. Mixticky allows the user to place and peel off memos on a virtual balloon around her/him corresponding to each relative direction (e.g., front, left, or 45 • from front to right). The user can record and browse voice, movie, image, handwriting, and text memos as virtual sticky notes in each direction by pointing the phone. The system employs snapping gestures with the smartphone as metaphors for the "put" and "peel off" motions corresponding to a physical sticky note. The virtual balloon can be carried in various scenarios so that the user can easily resume her or his thought processes anywhere.

“…Similar to a users mental image, virtual space can be characterized as a scene of objects in space. The objects can be images, text, symbols or other geometric patterns that convey informations through their visual features such as color, shape and size [Anderson 1957;Chernoff 1973;Kolhoff et al 2008]. The space can be a plane that is formed by vertical or horizontal extending or folding the screen.…”

People tend to form an internal model of systems and how they work. An accurate mental model helps promote user experience and performance. As a result, interface designs that are based on a users mental model have been discussed frequently. However, the concept of a mental model has varying interpretations and is considered difficult to operationalize. Against this background, we propose a framework that demonstrates the structure of a mental model and the role it plays in human-computer interactions (HCI). Accordingly, a method is proposd for interface design. This method is supported by recent cognitive psychology theory and is practical for engineering projects.

“…These findings underscore the need for an objective and comprehensive usability testing approach that is cost‐ and time‐efficient. Although several automatic graphical icon synthesis methods have been proposed [LRFN04, KPL08], involving humans (i.e. 'human‐in‐the‐loop') in the design process has several advantages (e.g.…”

Interface icons are prevalent in various digital applications. Due to limited time and budgets, many designers rely on informal evaluation, which often results in poor usability icons. In this paper, we propose a unique human‐in‐the‐loop framework that allows our target users, that is novice and professional user interface (UI) designers, to improve the usability of interface icons efficiently. We formulate several usability criteria into a perceptual usability function and enable users to iteratively revise an icon set with an interactive design tool, EvIcon. We take a large‐scale pre‐trained joint image‐text embedding (CLIP) and fine‐tune it to embed icon visuals with icon tags in the same embedding space (IconCLIP). During the revision process, our design tool provides two types of instant perceptual usability feedback. First, we provide perceptual usability feedback modelled by deep learning models trained on IconCLIP embeddings and crowdsourced perceptual ratings. Second, we use the embedding space of IconCLIP to assist users in improving icons' visual distinguishability among icons within the user‐prepared icon set. To provide the perceptual prediction, we compiled IconCEPT10K, the first large‐scale dataset of perceptual usability ratings over 10,000 interface icons, by conducting a crowdsourcing study. We demonstrated that our framework could benefit UI designers' interface icon revision process with a wide range of professional experience. Moreover, the interface icons designed using our framework achieved better semantic distance and familiarity, verified by an additional online user study.
