User Interface Modelling of Sundanese Culture Introduction for Deaf Youth using User-Centered Design Method

Abstract

Culture is a heritage that needs to be preserved and passed on to future generations. Cultural preservation has to be held for everyone without exception even for a person with disability, such as the deaf. Now education can not only be done using traditional way such as books, but it can be done using an application on a smartphone. The use of smartphone could make the process of education to be more efficient and effective. However not every user interfaces (UI) could meet the needs and limitations for the deaf. As with the sample of the existing application that already tested with USE Questionnaire, it still has low usability value. Therefore to design a user interface that meets the users' need, we implemented the user-centered design (UCD) to this research. The prototype was measured its usability by using USE Questionnaire method. The usability testing result showed that the value is 82.75%. This score shows that the design of the user interface already has a usability value with an excellent category, and it also could be said that the user interface has met the user's needs.
