Novel method of evaluating GUI design from the viewpoint of worker experience central control systems for social infrastructure

Abstract

In this study, the value of different experiences obtained from operations was defined as worker experience. From this viewpoint, we have developed a novel method to evaluate graphical user interfaces (GUI) for next-generation control systems for social infrastructure. Beyond the traditional concept of ease of use, this method aims to introduce a sense of worth gained by operations and instill some sense of motivation to work through the GUI design, which will provide GUI designers a new viewpoint. In this paper, this method was adapted to application software to use it more practically, and the GUIs of two different systems are evaluated. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
