The impact of physical parameters on the perception of the moving elements in peripheral part of the screen

Abstract

Studying the importance of the color and shape perception with peripheral vision on the screen has an important role in digital design to provide designers with guidelines for better performance that will contribute to more functional user interfaces. In this paper, we have explored how user experience is affected by moving elements in the peripheral part of the screen, in correlation with other physical parameters that describe their movement. It is known that the motion of the object greatly increases its perception. This paper examines the influence of color, complexity of shape, speed and motion direction of shapes and other parameters on the perception of moving objects by peripheral vision. The attention of the examinees was focused on the central part of the screen by doing three types of tests. During the test, in the area of peripheral vision, moving elements were randomly generated which influenced the attentions of the examinees while testing the response rate and the quality of their perception. The expected preliminary results of peripheral perception studies confirm that numerous parameters such as color, position, shape, and speed of graphic elements affect their peripheral perception.
